I find myself thinking about the difference between non-profit projects and community-owned projects, in relation to LLM adoption which doesn't show apparent sympathy for community and volunteers.
Wikipedia and Mozilla seem hell-bent on shoehorning LLMs into their systems, in the latter case blowing away community labour. There's no sense in it beyond groupthink.
Are tech non-profits separate from industry, or a section of it that doesn't make money?
