When you're a billionaire people are just resources to be managed.

It would be a great idea except it's incompatible with capitalism. It would take away a lot of jobs from less privileged people and society would do nothing to support them. These people could then be exploited even harder due to job scarcity.
Would be nice though if we could have nice things.
Because the elephant in the room is that AI isn't actually AI but is a huge database of internet and creative content combined with a language processing tool that takes its best guess at how to respond with that information to you.
Great.
Crypto was better even before this when hundreds of bitcoin were worth a few cents.
The conservatives have really latched on this to do more saber rattling unfortunately in Australia. Reddit is an absolute write off trying to have any rational discussion about it too, the bots and shills are out in force. Just the suggestion that we don't know the facts has people PMing you accusing you of being a Chinese shill and all sorts of toxic crap.
Whilst those agencies and businesses do have fault because their DR plans were not adequate, they also likely had paid SLAs with Optus which Optus broke.
The state of IT in Australia is a bit of a joke to be honest and it largely comes down to businesses treating it like an expense that needs to be minimised rather than the cost of actually doing and maintaining business.
In the early days of Reddit it's motto was fake it until you make it. It was a ghost town so they set up an army of bots to generate content and fake activity. Not much has changed tbh.
Homie got rich and famous by making a chat bot that spits out the internet back at you while spewing out buzzwords like only the best Valley hustlers can.
Personally I'm more worried about the robodogs and terminators that the likes of Boston Labs are putting out.
The GPL also enforces that you need to share your code, which isn't necessarily what these devs want.
You make some good points but yeah, if you licence something under a license that allows corporations to do this don't be surprised if they do.
I don't know if there's some license out there that allows free sharing of code with a limitation around using it in for-profit products and profit sharing for them and whether such a license would even work.
This is me too and why I no longer use Arch btw.
