@atomicpoet All the more important to have such essential communication tools in the hands of the people, not in the hands of abusive corporatios in the hand of billionaires.

You can fine-tune tone because theres a shared baseline the model draws from. That data is generated by the users of the internet but appropriated by private interests.
We have to pay to access the value we created collectively, and to decide how it can be used. Unfair. -

Meanwhile the US is pushing Oil and gas onto Europe by fracking the hell out of stolen land.
Who is the evil empire I ask?
