Linus: Linux is not one of those anti-AI projects, and if somebody has issues with that, they can do the open-source thing and fork it. (lore.kernel.org)

How separable are the two when scale is needed to run llms effectively? If you've used ollama on your own computer you know the limitations of alternatives. When you use big tech's offerings you are helping to train their models further. Adding to their control. My suggestion isn't necessarily abstention, but here tech and capitalism seem to be inseparably intertwined.

    Socialism takes advanced, industrial production beyond the profit motive and into a consciously planned and pro-social direction. You can have industrial scale without having capitalism.

    We're basically in the mainframe era of this tech, but if you have used local models then you know that progress has been absolutely breathtaking in the past year. Qwen 3.6 27b that you can run on a laptop is straight up better than frontier models that were available just a couple of years ago and required a data centre to run. Also, you don't have to use American models. You can use open models from China, they're very capable.
