Indeed! My personal political alignment does in fact incorporate much of communism.

I’m a digital communist, at any rate. If something can be copied for free, it darn well ought to be free. Anything else is artificial and enforced by threat of violence.
Ironically pirating is the only way you can actually own (instead of license) software these days.
I’m happy that they give an option but goddamn would it kill them to have the safe option as the default for once?
No certifications, no degrees, just good, old fashioned 15 years of experience.
Yeah it couldn’t happen overnight. I feel like ad blocking is a better solution to invest in up until that point however. We don’t need to enable advertisers.
There’s no reason why open source software should cater to advertisers.
Advertising is a plague on humanity. If we have to rethink our digital economics to fix it, then so be it.
Rich people are counterintuitively more susceptible to bribery.
True, but it hardly matters for the source since the architecture is pulled into open source projects like transformers (Apache) and llama.cpp (MIT). The weights remain under the dubious Llama Community License, so I would only call the data “available” instead of “open”.
Mostly so you can look at someone’s system and immediately know how many years old their software is.
Once version numbers get this high and you have stable multi year development, you might as well switch to “2024.1” style versioning.
That’s an extremely disappointing answer. You can’t put pressure on them if you have no leverage, and they know that. Something like a general strike would be far more effective and wouldn’t endanger our democracy.
What strategy might that be?
without any user IDs!
single-use and long-term user addresses
Addresses are IDs too…
Mozilla acquiring an ad company is something of a bad sign though.
I think he’s likely an invertebrate, no bones required.
What innovations? SD3 is a step backwards.
Emad is actually pretty smart, from a technical level, just listen to what he has to say on Reddit and it’s obvious. His business models seem pretty handwavey though, and you can’t just take money from people without a plan.
No, but it also stands to profit from those violations of consumer rights, where other countries do not.
Good question! The answer can be found by looking at how most of the commercial open source products are monetized. Software hosting and technical support are quite lucrative if the software is valuable.
But let’s look bigger than just software. How do content creators get paid? That’s far less tested. I expect crowdfunding to be the primary vehicle for that. It’s popular for indies, but the big boys haven’t caught up with the times yet.
