      No. It stems from closed source software. True, however, that stems from capitalism. Without that we’d be good friends with AI and fix all the obvious problems we caused. Then do like Bill Hicks said and explore space.

        Open source AI can still be problematic under capitalism. It can still be developed to disproportionally favor the ruling class and used to disproportionally benefit them

          It’s the ONLY method to deal with Closed Source. It can be used to end capitalism. It can be used to end money entirely.

          Do it ALL FOSS now, or else…EOTW. End of story. Literally.

            Making it FOSS wouldn’t solve the problem, because FOSS tools can still be used by capitalists to displace workers and erode worker bargaining power.

            This is true of pretty much EVERY tool, but never has a tool had the potential to negatively impact so many in such a diversity of roles.

            So again, the problem isn’t closed source, the problem is capitalism. If you fixed the problems of capitalism, then all software tools would naturally be FOSS, but that’s a product of fixing the problems, not the mechanism to fix the problems.
