Surprisingly measured comment section on that article (at time of writing). Given how harmless this software is it's a pretty easy conclusion of "if it puts you in harm's way, don't use it", and as the other commenter here says, it can always be forked if people don't like the political messaging.

Anyone I talk to about this agrees that the IP theft itself is not a problem but the difference in punishment between the big tech companies and the average person. If someone in a basement had made chatGPT or equivalent, they'd have been put in prison for life, or fined into oblivion. OpenAI does it and suddenly one of the richest companies in the world says "if anyone even thinks about suing or holding them to account we will defend them with our literal army of lawyers". Then China does it and suddenly IP matters again.
Yeah I feel this even as a millennial. The tech we grew up with was exciting, constantly improving, generally not exploiting us, always getting cheaper. For gen z they've grown up when tech was abundant but always getting worse, more expensive and more exploitative.
Famously optimistic!
Subheading makes it clearer that it is talking about the services rather than the phones
One of these days I should really look at the specific differences that means Linux packages rarely experience this while npm it happens seemingly once a month.
The "make shit up" machine was found to be making shit up? Huh, if only we could have predicted this!
That and their tax dodging and worker abuse
I don't know of any software that has no bugs.
Edit: typo
I get that people love the tools they love but there's so many people complaining about this when there are so many other good tools out there that don't pull this kind of shit.
Did they remove kernel level anti chest yet?
Glad to see some political commentators catching on to this too.
