Aren't all generative models examples of good communism? "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs" The AI learns from everyone and then generates what we need on demand.

But chatgpt etc. are owned by mega corporations. In communism there is only a common ownership. And open source projects are owned by everyone.

Maybe communism works better in online projects than in society as in societies there are people willing to do anything to gain power and the idea of communism is too weak to keep those people out of the power

No, open source is more of a libertarian model. No one is forced to work on open source.

No, The practice of FOSS development is not a political philosophy but rather a business/distribution model.

Libertarianism is not a political ideology designed around a specific business model like FOSS.

It is framework designed to systematically analyze what actions are justifiable (e.g., the initiation of force/coercion versus consensual exchange).

OSS is literally work performed without the incentive of profit, often purposely for the benefit of others / the greater good.

It's got zero to do with business. Keep grasping.

You didn't prove your point. You proved you don't know the difference between open source software and managed services that are charged for.

Hey, here for real. This is exactly the kind of situation where it is helpful to remember that there is no point of arguing with stupid people. Because they bring your down to their level of stupid and beat you with experience.
