Stallman was right

I wonder what state FOSS replacements for Adobe software would be in if a significant percentage of Adobe users used their subscription money to donate to FOSS replacements instead.

The ironic thing is that if it weren't for free software, the entire AI industry would likely be a decade behind where it is today, if not more.

That's true for all IT industries. All IT stands on the shoulders of FOSS.

FOSS has won, it's just that some people don't know that yet.

The entire industry is held up by the collective imaginations of rich people pretending that FOSS hasn't won.

There's a very significant open-source AI industry, too. Krita's got a great Stable Diffusion plugin that lets you generate and inpaint right in the editor, using entirely local models.
