I hear you, but let me point out that Ned Ludd didn't stop the industrial revolution.

I think in the foreseeable future we have open models running on commonly available hardware, and that is not a change that can be stopped (and arguably it's the commons getting back their own value). What we can do is fight for proper taxation, for compensatory fees, for regulation that limits plagiarism, for regulation of the most extreme externalities.

But it makes no sense, to me, to fight the technology tout court.
