Thanks for engaging. I agree that building alternatives is essential. As I said, capitalism can't be fixed.

I also agree that, when push comes to shove in the public benefit model, capitalists will never allow profit to be subordinated to the public good. Just as apparently now capitalists are snubbing Anthropic's public benefit vision for AI in favor of companies whose commitment to public safety is less stringent or absent altogether. It still seems beneficial to have that drama play out in a legally defined arena.

And, most people I know are so busy trying to survive in the default world that building alternatives is mostly a utopian daydream for them. Every fix and regulation we can install gives people a bit more breathing room to actually do the richly rewarding yet hugely challenging day-to-day work of prefiguration. 🌼
