+I endorse the whole piece, but especially this:
+
+> I am troubled by the amount of motivated reasoning coming from the people I feel
+> politically aligned with. It’s very easy to mock and write off people who vocally hate AI
+> for a long list of things they never seemed to give a shit about before they realized they
+> hated AI and went looking for reasons.
+
+And oh man does this footnote resonate with me:
+
+> I have to say how much whiplash it gives me, as a child of open source and copyleft, to
+> find that copyright law and internet advertising are now… the good guys? this timeline is
+> WEIRD you guys

+It really does continue to astound me how so many people seem to have decided that [fair
+use] shouldn’t be a thing anymore. We used to [protest] that kind of crap!
