This is such an absurd article. Web3 was never anything but a scam and extraction vehicle and now the author seems to have a “are we the baddies?” moment, or what?
Stallman is just a form of laissez faire libertarian when you get down to it. His whole thing is consumer activism and opposition to intellectual property law. Makes sense for any sort of people that foreclosed on avenues of change outside of cyberspace.
Whenever Americans want to face a problem with themselves it goes like “I stabbed a guy in the eye with a fork, displaying the terrifying power of forks, any one of us could stab ourselves with a fork at any moment, abolish forks”. This is religiously applied to everything but school shootings and austerity
Doing this with AI or proprietary software or social media or whatever is not helpful when the issue is the management of the time economy of programmers by capital even outside of work
