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.

      Copying and redistributing software is your fundamental human right.

      The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help others (freedom 2). gnu.org "What is Free Software"

      You're a loser if you're not doing piracy and/or reverse engineering to piss off companies.
