Only for the AI companies. Not for you or I.

It's the corrupting nature of capitalism really laid bare. A net loss for so many of their constituents that politicians all over the world are falling over themselves to pave the way for foreign companies to exploit their constituents IP.

A true tragedy of the commons unfolding before us.

I get why, and I get why it's the only realistic choice, but it really is showing the weaknesses of modern politics.

Strong disagree.

I love AI because I love building things and it lets me build more things I like faster.

If anything it's anti-capitalist: For example I built a software bluetooth proxy for Docker that let me use the underlaying BT device for Home Assistant even though the HA docs said I'd have to buy a new device. There is no way I'd do that without AI.

And I've built many many random project that I'd never have thought about doing without AI.
