   I... don't know how I feel about this. I mean, the concept, sure, good idea. Is it reliable? Perhaps. But... I get a "buy merch" popup the moment I open the page, and there seems to be a pro option for what seems to be a very much LLM-aided app? ...IDK, rubs off a bit wrong IMO. Just my personal opinion.

      I like the idea of this type of merch that normalizes anti big tech sentiment. But I personally would also opt for something more dramatic, possibly involving a guillotine...on the t shirt I mean

         Except any "solution" that involves AI is actually a win for big tech.

            Doesn’t even have to involve AI. Any tech solution is a win for big tech. Simple as that. We’re way past the point of no return now.

               ...except if it's certified organic open source?

                  Especially if it’s certified “organic” open source. To big tech open source is free labour.

                  It’s their game at this point, unfortunately. We hold very little say in how things go.
