suggesting that people give up their ability to learn a skill in order to instead rent it out from an unauditable, unknowable, unquestionable third party that has disempowered people who already have that skill
is not fucking democracy
that is the opposite of democracy
that is creating a central, unquestionable authority that is not beholden to you.
also? "democratizing skills"? You do not have a *right* to the skills of other people. So even if this authoritarian style enclosure wasn't already making a mockery of the term, the fact that it's literally built on the stolen labor of the individuals who it is disempowering (by removing their ability to gain pay for their work) IS NOT DEMOCRACY.

fucking had it up to here with literal repeating of fascist sex cult bro propaganda being spoken as if it's the fucking *middle ground of reasonableness*
I guess it was probably a lot to expect to be in a good mood after a bad brain week (seizure auras and migraines) and just seeing people out here trying to do an inverse "no true slopsman"
"Oh but what is the TRUE meaning of vibe coding" it's a marketing term
"But what is the TRUE meaning of artificial intelligence" it's a marketing term with roots in racism and eugenics
"But this isn't REALLY slop" yes it is
"this DEMOCRATIZES skills" sorry, *renting skills* from a central authority is not fucking democracy
"Anyone can play, if they can pay" not democracy! Sorry, are LLMs both good and free now? Is there an enshrined right to slop that I missed? Or are the tech bros just pushing that line because it *sounds* good? If I lose access to my skills, will the government take pains to make sure I can still utilize those skills in one way or another?

You DO have the right to learn. You DO have the right to ask people for help. You CAN ask questions and build a society.
Do not give up those rights.
