Exactly.

Computers are means of production, just now that they're advancing, like they did with all other industries.

The capitalists are taking control on what they think is theirs, this machine is only useful to give money to them, and the code we write to build it is now being taken control by these LLMs, to destroy our power over what we build. If this situation change, to them taking every bit of control by the LLMs being what is advertised to everyone, the workers and people that use everything that's built by or for computers will just be these factory workers of before. A LLM don't say no, it does what who controls it says, on our computers or on any computer.

Edit 2: Just like with the factories, instead of building on what we think is the best way, the LLMs build it for us, a machine for us to just throw things at it. This is easier to control than a senior dev that doesn't like that what he builds, and how he builds it, bombs people.

I'm not against completely open models (training data and weights), just that these corporate and capitalist models are the total control over the means of ~~production~~ computation.

Edit: And Canonical and Red Hat are companies, like any other, and participate actively on this.

Hobsbawm in the age of revolutions talk about this change, with the scientific and industrial revolutions, just like now with the "tech" revolution and now the LLMs.
