    Then remove all the open source data from your models.

    I have already depicted open source as Chad, and the closed source as the virgin.

    I find it really funny the US are trying to maintain their global position as tech leader while in the midst of a fascist take over. You know what’s incompatible with a thriving tech industry? Fascism. You can survive a little while after a take over, but eventually your rigorous little Christian commune of a society isn’t going to produce engineers, scientists or anyone with a taste level worth a damn.

      Right and the scientists leave for places that are happy for the bump in experts.

      Also if trump tanks the US dollar IMF loans will become cheap to pay back so large borrowers will see a nice bump plus be allowed to make more independent decisions.

      It’s already happened. Seriously, think about the last major innovation that came from a U.S. tech company. They’ve all gone to enshittification to try and extract as much value as they can from their consumers, because none of them are making good products. Now, with products like DeepSink coming out that clearly are focused on iterating and pushing tech forward, we’re starting to see the effects of American tech stagnation.

      I don’t know if I agree with this statement. If one of the main goals of the fascist state is technological superiority, they’ll prioritize it. Nazi Germany was on the cutting edge of science, to the point that the US hired a bunch of their scientists. They made technology a priority at the expense of other sectors. Luckily, being incapable of trade or producing the resources they needed, they didn’t outstrip the rest of the world, but the same likely can’t be said for the US. I think other factors will get in the way of tech research in the US far more than fascism, like moronic trade wars and disincentives for higher education, which while being enacted by fascists, aren’t necessarily fascist tenets, as proven by history.

        The problem with fascist and other authoritarian states and science is that it no longer becomes scientific when the authoritarians don’t like the evidence.

        Chernobyl is an example of authoritarians running science and engibeering. Hiding things they don’t like and refusing to accept reality with the full weight of the government behind it.

    Fake: Open source is the most efficient way to get communities to push and develop technology. People gathering to discuss, work, and share solely for the interest of the subject, serves the subject. People putting in effort in exchange for resources will only be serving self-interest, and never be wholly dedicated to the project goal.

    Gay: Capitalists are only interested in advancing technology for monetary gain; if reversing genuine improvement serves their greed, they will do (and have done) so.

    Edit: double gay, most open source people are also wearing cute thigh high socks rn

    Attacking their arguments is pointless. Attack their sense of pride and superiority. Make them appear foolish and weak. Point out that they’re too late to stop open-source models, and that their sense of superiority blinded them to notice that a new, cheaper snake oil had outclassed theirs.
