The second liberation: AI is the final frontier of Copyleft

Copyleft gave us the right to be free; AI gives us the power to be free. The scarcity of programming knowledge is evaporating, turning the "freedom to fork" from a legal theory into a functional reality for every user.

@tritol128 Why do you assume that AI is a corporate thing only? And besides that, have you noticed the amount of freely-available models out there?

@stefano Do you really believe that when AI becomes generally usable and commercially successful, someone will still provide it for free and subsidize the unimaginable costs of its operation?
