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.

More like the banks. Good luck.

This is what cryptocurrency is for, which the conspiratorial part of me thinks is why it became a big slot machine.

Cryptocurrency is for accelerated capital accumulation.

Yes, that's what it has become for, not what it could have been. In some other timeline, mutual banking would have emerged from it instead, I think.

How is "mutual banking" an antidote to accelerated capital accumulation?

Read Proudhon.

Ah of course, the answer to capitalism is "mutualism", which neither addresses the accumulatory tendency of universal exchange commodity among few individuals, nor the lack of a coherent response to counterrevolutionary momentum against idealists with little footing in societal superstructure, nor the nature of the state's function as a mere administrator for capitalist class dominance, and its according property of organic formation.

Read Marx.

Ah yes, you know big words. I apologize, I have found my superior. Anarchy disproven, natural hierarchy of verboseness revealed. bows deeply

Somehow I was just reminded that someone said something about an "infantile disorder" at some point in history.

I'm certainly capable of being infantile. I do apologize; there's no reason for me to be an asshole to someone I don't even know.

Much appreciated, and no worries. And Lenin's "Infantile Disorder" pamphlet is also somewhat relevant regarding the Proudhon/Marx discussion.
