Chris Palmer @noncombatant.org · 05/10/2026One might (try to) argue that the trade-off is worth it, but that is a whole separate argument. If engineers and investors don't come to grips with why almost everyone else is pissed off, it's going to go badly before we get to that argument. 0120

That's not the core of his point, which is "the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks". And that is true. 1241
