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.

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.
