But that's how progress works: there are winners and there are losers.
Dude. That is a fundamental misunderstanding of "progress". Progress means moving forward, to grow. The slop machines don't do that.
These bastards are killing the open web, moving us backwards by making it even harder to self-host anything, driving us towards centralization, which is the exact opposite of progress.
They steal and plunder, and make the life of everyone outside the billionaire / fascist class miserable. That is not progress.
Companies keep firing people "because AI will take over their jobs", only to re-hire them at lower wage, because the AI absolutely can't. This is not progress.
It's being pushed and forced on us. That is not progress.
And the bit about winners and losers? The fucking bubble is bursting. Who the fuck do you think will win? The billionaires and fascists.
Why the everlinving fuck should we concede to them?
