DESCRIPTION:Not since the 1980s has technology changed as quickly as in rec
 ent months.  Reprising the early PC era\, large for-profit companies dicta
 te the pace and control of Large-Language-Model-backed generative artifici
 al intelligence (LLM-gen-AI).\n\nThe FOSS community was built on sharing a
 nd collaboration.  As in past eras\, the big tech companies pushing us to 
 use their products do not share these goals\, preferring to make us depend
 ent on what they sell rather than giving us control over the technology we
  use.\n\nWe must push back\, but we must do so carefully and strategically
 .
