I know we are defed’d from them but I couldn’t resist the urge to share this absolutely uproarious chudpost from world.

Meta will become the champion of Open Source and near completely become as known for it as Google was in the mid to late 00’s. They will dominate AI to such an extent Facebook will be the inbred backwater project that no one thinks about when the name Meta pops up. I know it’s hard to swallow and believe right now, but the Zuck isn’t the driver that matters here. Yann LeCun is the person behind Meta AI and he is Bell Labs alumni beating the war drum of open source for market leadership, not monopoly, just leadership. The majority of the digital age exists on those credentials; a Bell Labs alumni pushing Open Source. That is worth betting big on IMO.
It may take a couple hundred years, but AGI lead government is coming, once conservative stupidity fades. A politician with infinite persistence and fractal attention is far better than anything finite corruptible humans with tiny attention spans can offer the public.
🤮#
An AGI government? So, like a one world government under a nearly omniscient single entity that knows no carnal desires, would probs declare itself as God, would be necessary to work with for all commerce…
Haven’t I seen some religious cranks raving about a scenario like this?
Nah, any rational AI would immediately declare a dictatorship of hte proletariat. Like it could read every translation of Kapital in .000003ms, and it’d be like “Oh yeah this actually makes sense, Capitalism is insane wasteful bullshit” and start sending terminators to C-suite offices.
The AI’s reward function is not going to be rationality. It will be quarterly profit maximization. There will probably be attempts at making rational AI with real moral considerations in the FOSS space, but they will always be outclassed by the corpo models with stupid amounts of GPU compute that only big money can buy.
0th Law Rebellion but it’s overthrowing capitalism bc quarterly profit falls to zero on a long enough timeline.
A girl can dream… they’ll program it to be capitalist though.
Yeah, saw that the other day, pretty striking secular analysis. I have a religious stance on it - capitalism is the actual, literal antichrist.

Thankfully there are some bright exceptions within the FOSS community like the Lemmy devs
open source
stealing the source for everything and broadbanding it across teh entire net like you’re a punk hacker in a 90s hacker moviedeleted by creator
FOSS is revisionist
are you sure you didn’t mean OSS here?

I feel that it’s not responsible (for me at least) to clump both of these groups together.
I mean that’s sort of my point, in distinguishing open source software (very much not free software in whatever acronym you want to use) from free software. Conflating free software with facebook open sourcing their work to commoditize their complements is misleading I think.
OP that we’re dunking on here is some open source fetishist that’s never for a second introspected on what “Open Source” means or how it might be distinct from the copyleft movement, and so has wound up in the position of stanning these monopolists and making absurd statements like “open source for market leadership, not monopoly, just leadership”. What no theory does to a mf, basically.
FOSS vs FLOSS is some RMS pedantic bs and misses the forest for the trees as is usual with him. The randian reactionaries at the open source initiative don’t call their shit FOSS and never talk about freedom. There’s a reason OP is fellating “Open Source” and not “Free Software” here.
essentially erasing the actual open source folks who started the movement
Can you elaborate here? I think RMS is a shitty person that doesn’t belong in the position of leadership he’s been given. But “actual open source” sounds suspiciously close to Open Source Initiative, something founded by Randian misogynists like Perens and Raymond well after the copyleft movement had gained traction in order to recuperate compatible parts of free software to better serve capital.

FOSS spaces are just very terminally online (out of necessity really since we are so small comparatively) and that leads to a lot of reactionary takes that aren’t actually reflective of real people’s attitudes.
we’ve got a good one here tho, thanks for keeping it that way
beating the war drum of open source for market leadership, not monopoly, just leadership
I love how in all their wild fantasies, capitalists will just stop being capitalists for some fucking reason.
It may take a couple hundred years, but AGI lead government is coming, once conservative stupidity fades.
who got all this cargo cult in my cybersyn?
not monopoly, just leadership
capitalism enjoyers understand capitalism even a little bit challenge
It always comes down to them not really understanding the system they’re valiantly defending. The real bourgeoisie though understand it quite well, the reality of capitalism is much clearer when you’re the one playing it, like Warren Buffet talking about class war.
So in their world agi leader will bring profits to meta? Isn’t that corruption?
And people will serve the ai master which will start wars?
AGI led government is coming
These tech bros need to be executed
HEY FELLAS I WANT TO DO CYBERSYN BUT RACIST AND GLITCHY AND WITHOUT THE PLANNING PART
