You're right, but We'll get what we deserve when it comes to that.

The one thing the greedy tech bastardizers have never been able to do is shut down, not for lack of trying, the benevolent open source and human knowledge belongs to the world movements. The seven seas are still free and the most motivated thinkers are still the open source ones, matey.

They have nothing that isn't already being extrapolated and tinkered with on private servers. If they use the soon to come AGI to make the peasant's lives even more bleak, they might not like the damage in kind that can be done with some militant engineer's homebrew anti-cap AGI. What could that do? Engineer a plague? Mass delete banking records? Who knows but it's increasingly likely we'll find out!

If wealthy "winner" humans continue to insist on making most humans live's increasingly desperate, solely because they are never getting richer fast enough and without regard to the concept of Mutually assured destruction, then our species will have to experience the inevitable consequences of that choice. They have the capital, so its on them.

What's even worse, a lot of people are going to get what just a handful deserve
