Fuck meta and a BIG FUCK OFF to AI and all the companies slurping up ai slop "tech" to implement it in their rubbish software, apps, white goods, appliances.. Fuck. It's just infected every conceivable facet of our lives and no one is objecting it, it's like everyone suddenly forgot about how many engineers spoke out about the dangers!
I love how ai isn't resulting in the collapse of everything, its just an annoyance. The worst thing so far is the excessive scraping and shrimp jesus.

Meta hoards the commons like a dragon, pillaging open archives to train its soulless algorithms, while Aaron Swartz—a true steward of knowledge—was hunted down for daring to share.
One gets a slap on the wrist, the other gets a noose of legal threats. Justice? No, this is corporate feudalism, where the lords rewrite the rules and the serfs pay with their lives.
Aaron wanted liberation; Meta wants monopoly. The system rewards the parasite and punishes the visionary. Remember that next time you scroll through their ad-soaked wasteland.
They know that liberation is a threat to them.
He was murdered. He did not commit suicide.
The Schwartz wasn't strong with him.
Suck my Schwartz.
