@janl@narrativ.es exactly! It's doing wrong for quick profit, spreading harms out to the public, by removing attribution and accountability. It's a power play by a few people who believe their unbalanced, elitist grab of value should be the new definition of the "center". That's Mussolini, Nixon or Ronald Reagan in a nutshell.

@janl@narrativ.es This right here is something that seems so blatantly self-apparent to me, and its one of my biggest blockers to having anything to do with the set of technologies. It's honestly very disheartening and isolating to hear other software devs not seeing this for themselves (or dismissive of the concerns when raised).

@janl@narrativ.es I wonder if those involved have realised that continuing down this strategy may lead to requiring life long personal security for themselves, their families and friends the personal toll of this strategy of greed may well be very costly

@janl@narrativ.es You definitely are not the first to come to that realisation. I'm over here desperately trying to ignore all the conspiracy theories connecting the two my mind is coming up with.

@janl@narrativ.es Their existence is a natural consequence of Plato's myth of metals. The lie of nobility is that those born of gold must be defended by those born of silver. Just like Nazi secret police or similarly in the soviet union, a small group in power collects personal body guards. MAGA and vibe coders are just another instance of this same idea echoed through history. Useful idiots given power to support the ones truly in control.
