    Anti-capitalism does not mean anti-technology or anti-trade; it means building a society based on an economic basis other than capitalism. Non-capitalist societies in the modern world also possess technology, conduct trade, and experience material progress — mechanisms that are built into the standards development system.

    It’s just that how decisions get made about that progress and who owns and benefits from the fruits of that progress is different than in a capitalist society.

    This is basically what the EU has doing with USB-C.















  • Its a little more complicated than that I think. LLMs and AI is not remotely the same with very different use cases.

    I believe in AI for sure in some fields, but I understand the skeptics around LLMs.

    But the difference AI is already doing in the medical industry and hospitals is no joke. X-ray scannings and early detection of severe illness is the one being used specifically today, and will save thounsands of lives and millions of dollars / euros.

    My point is, its not that black and white.
