'FREE' people and inventions also have a responsibility to see who is abusing it and basically make provisions / conditions / choose more carefully. Block them from weaponizing
Weaponizing* everything is very real today.
* Weaponizing = the putting of parts / components / code together (much like mechanical parts) and making a gun at the end from those innocent components - the end result of the chain is bad.
So what to do about it?
To start
- Don't under-estimate how well chains are put together or swap things in and out
- Imaging more 'efficient' can mean more destructive / faster at doing the bad / inhuman things. If it exist and work, no need x10 speed every year.
Even with 'Free' stuff / software / service / etc consider them as Free weapons and tools for people to plugin into their own mentality - so it's worth checking even if if you think something new is just great because it's 'new'... Keep a lid on it if really it has 10% good use and x10 bad.
Ask: IS IT WORTH GIVING TO IDIOTS?
Asl: COULD I USE IT FOR NON-FREE WAYS EASILY WITHOUT THE SPIRIT OR GOOD-WILL OF FREE-SOFT OR FREEDOM.
Sound$ extreme but it's just like giving part$ to people who you know just make algorithm and monetise people instantly with this years new thing. It's already happening. #AI etc... <--- I don't have list I admit and often I think 'everything is applied to'
Considering top 500 companies (enemies) run on free software and pay near-0 for it as side-insult and don't even care then I think there is ALWAYS a time in history to re-assess adding any more for them or specifically releasing things for us (not U$)
To use it for money should be stipulated conditionally NO or WITH PERMISSION ONLY THEN YOU CAN ALSO GIVE ME A CUT!
Not-for-profit also needs to skill-up and pre-defend things so we don't the shock face after- "oh guess what they did now- I don't believe it!".
Ok so far but from here consider all is just to make massive wrong in the wrong ways...
