Because then they have all the power. This is all about power. LLMs make PCs vastly more powerful and can create independence from service companies across the economy. We could each have a team of hyper competent professionals for all service industries that deal with information. Businesses, don’t like that. Instead, they want to control all access to that power and use it to position themselves as the most powerful.
Much like communism, they too will seize the means of information production for their individual empowerment while simulationeously disempowering everyone else. If we were smart monkeys, we’d start hording computer parts en masse so we have a stockpile of resources to invest in our own group empowerment until we can overcome the hardware access limitations they are artificiality creating to reduce competition for control of this technology.
It’s all a fucking scam by a small group of extremely selfish monkeys, to take all the bananas and ration that access to control all the other monkeys. It’s all about power and I wish we were smarter and more united to peruse our collective interests over their private ones.
“much like communism” then follows up with a description of capitalism.
Capitalism is when the means of production are seized to empower an elite few while simultaneously disempowering everyone else. This is the essence of class division.
Communism is when the means of production is seized by the people and then shared equally, as communism is classless.
Dude, calm down. That was specifically about he phrase 'seize the means of production. That’s associated with communism, a philosophy that is the exact opposite of fascism. So it’s interesting that they both seize the means of production in order to gain power, it’s just who they seise it for that differs. Is that alone not interesting to ponder?
No, not really. Every economic model is based around who has control over the means of production and how they distribute access to it. That’s just economics. It isn’t a novel or profound thought.
The fact that both communism and capitalism/fascism requires taking control of the means of production is no more interesting of a thing to ponder than the fact cooking your food and burning people alive requires the use of heat
There are recent parallels in both the firearms and 3D printing industries. California 3D printers now get to have restrictions on them because of recent legislation. When technology bridges the “moat” to some Unreachable Fortress it’s inevitable for lobbying to appear since you can’t move the Fortress. Chinese open source models and weights are that bridge, and here we are.
I’m sure there’s market research, focus groups, and unfilmed talks where people air the ideas out to gauge if they can get national traction, but it’s hard to tell with techbros if we’re seeing the vetted idea put to film or if he really thinks the idea that there’s just one computer on earth (that he owns) that everybody can buy time on. I trend towards the latter given the market for software you actually own instead of license, and unlocked hardware.

But only communism is known to have a slogan associated with it FFS. So, yes, really. You must be fun at parties.
Lol, ok child.
You can’t hoard stuff that becomes obsolete every 2 to 3 years. The price will still fall drastically every generation for a while.
They can buy it on the used market and destroy it.
Or lobby for laws that make hardware have to have some nonsense security precaution, so they can make old Tech illegal.

There are already rumblings about RISC-V.
