@amackif@mastodon.social @saxnot@chaos.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu If you'd spend the same amount of money that was pumped into AI on supporting open source, there would be far less security issues, and we'd have a much more sustainable development model. It doesn't matter how "useful" AI is, when it requires DDoSing the entire internet to (unethically) slurp up anything and everything. Want to do better than the US? Fund these projects directly. Spend the trillions of euros on supporting their development directly, rather than on supporting a spicy autocorrect.
