I tend to think that the pro AI people are of a younger generation, because if they were closer to Gen X, they’d be feeling betrayed rather than excited.
Gen X and Millenials built the internet. We populated it with our forums, our blogs, our facbook profiles. We were the first ones sharing our photos, our very lives, with all of our friends and family. We created what it would become and we trusted that it was a community resource. Then along comes a couple of billionaires, they suck up everything that you have built and then have the balls to charge you an entry fee!
It’s like if you and your neighbourhood all got together and decided to build a playground for your kids, and when it’s done, some asshole asks the city for the right to the land and puts a toll booth up.
More than any other concern, THAT betrayal is what pisses me off the most. How fucking dare they say that I have to pay to access a system that was built on community content. They can fuck themselves sideways with a rusty sledge hammer.

















It’s funny that if you look at the picture above, it has zero “real” context clues. No signs, no name tages, no MAGA hats. But you can still instantly tell who the MAGA asshole in it is.
