ADOBE: Spends millions, builds suite of tools that became very expensive industry standards.
CANVA: Buys Affinity's similar tool suite, drops price to FREE, charges for access to AI tools.
ARTCRAFT: Reverse engineers Adobe's tool suite, INCLUDING the AI bits, releases all of it as open source.
AI eating capitalism?
@davemark There's plenty of resources still being poured into AI, and at a very powerful level. Therefore, the further advancements outside of AI agents being 'contained', means there's more beyond singularly reverse engineering the current state.
More; the primary motivation is #RootInfrastructure #Capitalism #greed, that the #TechBros are perpetuating, in their core metric of cornering said vital, root infrastructure.
Staying the wealthiest means controlling as much ancillary power, to funnel it to their primary, 'maximizing' Capitalist profits. This, of course, leaves less and less for the 99%.
Yeas, it's the worst #AbuseOfPower in human history.
@davemark what a great take! delightfully put.
love it when two enemies are at odds.

@davemark I tried the ArtCraft Word clone and was extremely disappointed. I'll stick to Libre Office for now.
As for the Adobe products, I'm perfectly satisfied with the Affinity line. And you know, I definitely am not interested in paying for AI features; it's AI that drove me off Microsoft Office products.
