Would you say that factory workers dropping a bolt into the machinery to protest is also just being a dick? If not what's the difference?
Depends what they’re protesting and why
How about they're protesting a new machine that is removing people's jobs while also destroying the economy and the planet? Would that be reasonable then?
How many of the same people in this thread were cool with that guy burning down the warehouse of the company that refused to pay it's workers a livable wage?
Because I feel like a lot of the same people crying foul in this thread did absolutely not do that when that even happened.
It's my view that open source is going to have to resort to stuff like this to survive. Because people aren't going to stop using LLM's and even if the bubble does burst they're just gonna try to get by on local models and stolen data sets.
