They're already starting an attack on FOSS (free open source software) with FB declaring Linux news/content a security threat .
The actual threat is to the for-profit golden geese and billionaire egos that just got dunked by a free alternative.

The best part is (according to someone here yesterday) FB runs on Linux.
most other things also run in linux.
A lot of AI is free, openAI, meta, Google, Apple, etc. all release free models for a wide variety of things, that you can download and run yourself, and have for years.
The thing with AI development is there will be a new top best in a month or two. It's always changing, no one person or company is 'winning'.
Correction: Free & OpenSource Software
Thank you!
Yes, @taytay, free as in liberty, not free as in beer--but don't kid yourself, if there's a chance of doing anything remotely useful or groundbreaking with any of those for free, that number likely rounds to 0.
