Open Source = Exploited Source
Github collects open source projects. The code sold to train AI programming LLMs. So you write some code wanting it to be open source, put it in a github repo, who then sell it as AI training data, Then US corporations use your code for free, saving them lots of money.

Wow the "average" family in most recent TV shows now live in $10 million homes. Immaculate and impeccably designed mansions, sometimes even with a pool, not bad for a teachers salary. Examples this week La Brea and Day Of The Jackal. Also the Jackal himself slums it in a $30m olive farm in Spain
