It's just not convincing. When your tools start moral posturing instead of building great software that gets out of the way it's all down hill.

Au contraire, when your tools add the Hot New Thing for the sake of it, rather than any coherent product strategy- that's when things go downhill.

That is how we got open source in the first place. Just because you disagree with said moral stance does not mean it is against software development.

Procreate is awesome though.

I wish their redo and undo shortcuts were used everywhere

I find it slightly annoying and dishonest to present it as a moral position, but overall it's nothing that other businesses haven't already been doing. It's just not a big deal.

But it IS a moral question. As it is IMMORAL to just go and steal content to train AI and then let the lawyers to take csre of it later

Bill Hicks, quoting https://www.quotes.net/mquote/978640 with original video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaD8y-CGhMw :

> By the way, if anyone here is in advertising or marketing... kill yourself. [audience laughs and claps] ... there's no rationalization for what you do and you are Satan's little helpers, okay? Kill yourself, seriously. You're the ruiner of all things good, seriously. ...

> I know all the marketing people are going, "he's doing a joke..." there's no joke here whatsoever. ... I know what all the marketing people are thinking right now too, "Oh, you know what Bill's doing, he's going for that anti-marketing dollar. That's a good market, he's very smart." [audience laughs] Oh man, I am not doing that, you fucking evil scumbags.

> "Ooh, you know what Bill's doing now, he's going for the righteous indignation dollar. That's a big dollar. A lot of people are feeling that indignation. We've done research. Huge market. He's doing a good thing." Goddammit, I'm not doing that, you scumbags. Quit putting a goddamn dollar sign on every fucking thing on this planet!

> "Ooh, the anger dollar. Huge. Huge in times of recession. Giant market. Bill's very bright to do that." God, I'm just caught in a fucking web.
