    I’m not sure how you’d solve the problem of big corpos becoming cheap content farms while avoiding harming the people who use these tools to make something rich and beautiful, but I have to believe there’s a way to thread that needle.

    Easy, local AI.

    Keep generative AI locally runnable instead of corporate hosted. Make it free, open and accessible. This gives the little guys the cost advantage, and takes away the scaling advantages of mega publishers. Lemmy users should be familiar with this concept.

    Whenever I hear people rail against AI, I tell them they are handing the world to Sam Altman and his dystopia, who do not care about stealing content, equality, or them. I get a lot of hate for it. But they need to be fighting the corporate vs open AI battle instead.
