    why would I respond to repeated and personal betrayals by one of the most toxic men in tech with anger?

    and yes, when our labor is stolen that’s a personal betrayal. it doesn’t matter if torvalds knows who I am. I frankly don’t give a shit if he does. what I need you to know is he’s a weak fuck pretending to be a genius.

    "when our labor is stolen that’s a personal betrayal"
    I don't understand how more people don't see this. They're strip-mining the internet and selling it back to you via taps that they control. It's crazy to me that people are so quick to willingly surrender to what is clearly a new form of mass oppression that's taking root.

    I'm already dealing with fresh college grads who can't arrive at solutions without prompting, it's extremely alarming every time I run into these people in classes.

    Also, as an aside, the people who are okay with slopping code but don't like it when art is slopped are a whole other enigma to me. Like, do you just not value your work? Is that it?

    @axel @zzt yup, I ask myself the same question everyday. I’m sure they used to value their work, I’m sure ….

    Altman did say:

    "We see a future where intelligence is a utility like electricity or water and people buy it from us on a meter and use it for whatever they want to use it for," he added"

    It's why they've had books destroyed after scanning them for AI, with the intention of forcing us to depend on AI's regurgitated output when they originals can no longer be found.

    This is by design and goes beyond just AI vomit infecting open source. 🤬

    The goal is to destroy our ability to easily find facts so they can have the models tell us whatever is convenient for the fascist capital class.

    @synnfynn @axel @zzt OK now that's getting a bit too paranoid. They aren't destroying the books to prevent us getting them. Most of them are too rare to have many copies out there. They're just grabbing anything

    @ariaflame @synnfynn @axel they’re doing more than just destroying rare books in their repeated attempts to be the only source remaining for the data they’ve consumed for training

    2026 is perhaps a poor year to accuse someone else of being a bit too paranoid

    @zzt @synnfynn @axel Oh, you have evidence that they are destroying multiple copies of the same rare, and thus probably old and not terribly relevant to modern day books? Please, do provide.

    @ariaflame @synnfynn @axel yes we do! it’s extremely easy to find actually

    but I notice you avoided the point of my post, and are now sounding like a fucking asshole who wants an internet debate on a Saturday

    feel free to go find the news article yourself, you weird fucking dickhead

    >> Like, do you just not value your work? Is that it?

    I work with many people in the corporate structure and "not putting a value in their work" is exactly one of the reasons why they are fine with all this AI-bullshit.
    They are just exchanging their time for money. Nothing more. No value creation happening.

    And for some people the only time they started to create "value" is when they used LLM to make a lot of work that looks "professional". And this hooks them very bad.
