Typo on “Free, Open Source Software does not a social movement make.” Presumably “does not make a”?
Not a typo, just an old formulation that's sometimes used. See https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/52596/proper-usage-origin-of-the-generic-phrase-action-phrase-does-not-a-noun-mak for some discussion.
it's correct
Great writeup, good argumentation, and excellent sourcing, linking to external resources
I have only read the first two paragraphs, but the second paragraph introduces the conversation with
the conversation we ought to be having is about power ... and how do we the people take that power back?
After watching this keynote at the 2022 global AI summit about three times, I feel that while we need to talk about power - in a way that is aware of its propensity for terror - "getting it" is not the conversation we should be having, despite numerous actors having already amassed it.
I apologise if I've jumped the gun in assuming what the article talks about. Do let me know if I've mis-assumed.
