From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

There's nothing Marxist in that article. Only fallacies from rich white man ranting about people pushing back against fascism.
People say AI to mean LLM first because main stream western, fascist, media pushed the term by inviting exclusively non-expert and CEOs to talk about the subject. People are pushing back against a product that is mean to make workers dull and replace them by ~~stealing their works even by capitalist standards~~ -> exploiting their works, appropriating it to themselves without any compensation nor permission.
The article tried to paint the discussion as anti-llm would be anti technology, which is not Marxist in any way and not relevant. Weirdly enough fascist guy like the one on this article don't talk about cryptocurrency as something we should chill for. Isn't it a tool too?
Current LLM chill is the opposite of dialectical materialism: what is the concrete analysis here? LLM outputed nothing of value for years despite the hundred of billions invested. Worst it actually participate to global warming, bourgeoisie attempt to mass control, getting rid of workers and inflating computer costs. So the real consequences for people are losses only.
And for what? To get to have unskilled rich white people who can afford the awfully hight price of LLM to boats about "I made this" while it is actually made from steal and empoverish people and enriching tech lord's.
So no, thanks, and trying to paint fallacies to Marxism isn't going to help either.
EDIT: replace the "stealing" argument as pointed out -> https://lemmy.ml/post/54102413/28384201 , this can be confusing with the anti-piracy propaganda vocabulary.
Stealing: when you don't have it anymore afterwards.
Copying: when both have it afterwards
The RIAA's propaganda campaign was sadly very successful.
You're right, I said "steal" as it was the most common word, the right one was "exploiting". Fixing it.
Actually let me analyze again your comment here: I thought you were right at first but thinking about it not really.
First let me address : I didn't know about RIAA, this kind of paternalistic way of addressing people is not good in any way. We aren't all USA-centric (like you?).
Then about the "steal" argument:

You wouldn't download an argument, would you? Or would you? What, you're reading this in your browser without authorization from me?? FBI, open up!!!
are you trolling?
I checked your history and you seems to genuinely interact but you're sentence makes no real argument (more like a joke).
But maybe you haven't read the rest of the conversation so here some points:
Yes it was a joke, sorry. The propaganda video about "downloading a car" was an incredibly stupid but massive campaign and in hindsight incredibly successful in influenced attitudes.
I don't think any discussion is useful because I am fundamentally and radically opposed to turning intellectual ideas or works into "property" and it's abhorrent and obscene to me. There are other and better ways to fund or reward artist's work. Naturally I hate patents even more. They also delay market adoption for climate change solutions by 20 years. A crime against humanity! And no, that one is not a joke.
The worst thing that fuckai could lead to is help legitimize some kind of "IP tax" for use of AI models, which would as a side effect make it illegal piracy to use any open weight models. Then big tech gets to monopolize AI in the west. They can afford the tax. But we'll forever be limited and dependent in making use of LLM models.
Private property is theft. "Intellectual property" is a form of private property. It exclusively benefits the bourgeois.
Regarding your third bullet point: Try your example again, but this time the boss doesn't copy the file. It's still labor theft. The copying is irrelevant.
Are you saying I am right then? I feel you think of something but it is not clearly getting to me here.
it's labor theft-> hence the termstealI was usingcopying is irrelevant-> so I was right? the labor theft of big tech in order to sell LLM is wrong on many level and we should fight against it.Do you at least see that, to me, what you just said is validating my points?
Also if anyone else (not to you @m532): "AI" (in reality chatbot or generative AI) should be made by the people for the people, and FOSS ideology (can we say Librism in English?) have always, and still mostly is, against the closed-source (close dataset to be precise here) nature of current big-tech AI. This was already a problem 8 years ago when the space started to get filled with "scientific" paper that didn't disclose code/data (sometime just code but still insufficient) hence couldn't be reproduce while sometimes having wild claims. We shouldn't give so much credit, attention, money to those fascists in charge of selling as much LLM as possible, whatever human, economic and environment costs.
Let me try that again:
The copying part is gone, yet the problem stays the same, so the copying was never the problem.
you talked about labor theft, why do you think the boss should pay you? An I am not saying "should" as society should be like that, I agree with no private property and no money -> should as right now is it OK or not to make money from other people works : this is exploitation.
I argue that the "steal" of today's LLM is the same exploitation of worker as usually described, here outside the social contract of librism and free software.
Bad news, @yogthos@lemmy.ml, you’re not a Marxist, and your analysis is the opposite of dialectical materialism.
was that supposed to be an argument against my explanation?
Obviously it wasn’t, or I would have made an argument.
Yes please do not make any argument and post memes with some interesting comments
Really helps.
I'll never recover from this. 🤣
