Welcome to #nostr. You have raised my interest in Swartz, of whom I knew nothing, whereas Sam Altman is a household name. It nauseates me how the pinball machine of fame and notoriety dings and tilts, rarely expressing true value, or equanimity.
Thinking of Aaron Swartz today & I’m stuck on this photo - he & OpenAI CEO Sam Altman (both circled) each scraped 1000s of docs but one did it to make the knowledge free for all while the other did it to make $$$$ through probabilistic plagiarism. The US DOJ only came after one of them & the other is feted by tech bros and executives.
Thank you Aaron for so much, for RSS, for Markdown, for Creative Commons and more. I’m sorry our society failed you.
