    You’re hallucinating. (Pun intended.)

    Neither Capt. Wolf nor I said a single thing about AI or Open Source. And the article didn’t mention anything about Open Source.

      No, I said things about AI and open source. I raised open source as part of my counter to your argument that this is “concentrating wealth.”

      Here, I’ll explain in detail what’s going on.

      In response to an article about Reddit licensing your content to AI trainers, capt_wolf said “it’s time to purge your account.” Presumably as a way to stop that from happening. I asked why that was a bad thing, specifically how it harmed us in any meaningful way. You came in at that point and suggested:

      • It’s a scheme to further concentrate wealth
      • It harms everyone but the 0.1%.

      I raised open source as a counter to the “wealth concentration” point, because open source does the opposite - it spreads the wealth to any who want it. It puts these resources into the commons.

      I also pointed out that I personally benefit from AI tools, so it does the opposite of harming me. As I am not part of the 0.1%, that’s a counter to your second point.
