Strange, how (even in FOSS) the AI discussion always pivots to technical topics (or I should rather say to technical speculations about the future), instead that it's just discussed as a part of the code of conduct: Don't use inhuman (in more than one sense), IP-stealing tech.

The FOSS community is well known to take a moral stance every now and then, so why not apply this to AI? Because it's so overwhelmingly useful?

But guess what: This will definitely make us fall back behind the industrial competition, since they can buy much more usefulness in form of tokens.

If we recognize AI work as useful or equivalent to the work of FOSS activists we are already fucked, because we can always be beaten in this game by the guys with the deeper pockets..
