Regardless of one's feelings on the matter, we can clearly say that AI has been transformative because it never fails to provoke heated arguments. And not only that, but the arrival of commercial models, that is, models that can be run either in your browser (on a cloud service) or on your own machine (local) seems to have shifted perspectives entirely. What becomes bothersome is that self-proclaimed communists seem to have done a complete 180 on intellectual property, and this is what we want to focus on.
Zuckerberg is deeply cynical, he’s only doing any of this because meta is in a bad shape (facebook is hemorrhaging users, the metaverse was a huge black hole for money, and they decided to go open source with their Llama model which is biting them in the ass now bc capitalism). And now of course with trump being president again he’s trying to court him like all the other capitalists - if you remember that picture from I think december last year, with musk, zuckerberg, bezos and some fash guy standing together at a Trump function. But it’s nothing new, I called it the Boris Johnson method because Johnson has this weird-ass haircut that he thinks it makes him look working class, which is a lot to unpack. Same with tommy robinson whose real name is the much more aristocratic Stephen Yaxley-Lennon. Tommy Robinson is a nickname, it’s not his legal name or anything.
For a “New Socialist” publication it doesn’t do a lot of socialist critique and a lot of aesthetics critique 😵💫
