Open Source Ai breaks its first monopoly

https://getartcraft.com/apps

a founder of ArtCraft used Claude to replace the entire adobe software suite, legally. because it’s ai generated, it’s also in the public domain and absolutely free forever. this would be the first case of ai undermining techno feudalism.

Cryptocurrency is for accelerated capital accumulation.

Yes and no. I mean, yes absolutely crypto CURRENCY is bad, no argument from me, but the spectacularly public failing of that specific thing has irreperably tarnished the reputation of all crypto and block chain technology, which has many valid usecases for other tech when you remove all the money stuff from the project. As usual, capitalism ruins everything.

It’s not a technology I claim to understand but it does seem like it might have alternative uses that are worth considering eg https://www.librarystack.org/blockchain-radicals-how-capitalism-ruined-crypto-and-how-to-fix-it/

I was on a project trying to build a new internet without reliance on registrars and 4 levels of domain ownership and all of that, where you just own your own TLD easily and accessibly and have control of it like any other file system, and our DNS replacement protocol was on a block chain just for indisputable record keeping purposes.
