Until recently, this would have required being a solid coder. Not anymore. I deeply believe that LLMs will empower people, like nothing before, to _own_ the technology they depend on. I wish the open-source community would realise that. LLM might disrupt today's open-source workflows, and force a deep transformation. But LLMs might also become an extremely powerful vector to support and expand the _idea_ of libre software. Let invent the processes, practices, tools to make that happen! 9/9

@severin@hci.social "I want to contribute to a world where people own their tech stack, and do not depend on the whims of a few capitalist actors." I like this vision. It is also, IMO, completely incompatible with depending on LLM tools like Claude. This is one of the things that many old-timers in FOSS are trying to wave people away from: depending on proprietary tools just to move faster. There is, AFAICT, zero way for the FOSS community right now to engage with LLMs in a way that doesn't depend on "a few capitalist actors" -- even in a scenario using local models rather than Claude, we're still dependent on black-box models that cost millions of dollars to train using undisclosed data sets and high-end hardware for developers. Totally with you on the idea of people owning their own tech stack, but this is not the way.
