Fwiw there are a large number of people who volunteer their time and effort toward worthwhile projects. It’s just they don’t get rewarded anywhere near the level of benefit that they provide.
Yup, I used to do that as a hobby, but now that I have kids, I just don’t have the time. There’s no way I could do it full-time, so I have a regular 9-5 that pays reasonably well for a cause I don’t hate. For me, that’s enough.
I hope I can make enough at my day job to go back to working on FOSS projects before I lose my ability to write competent software.
When you look at the value proposition purely from a capitalistic standpoint, I get why scammers and black hats exist. I just wish they could point their weapons toward the 1% and pull something similar to a Mr. Robot and redistribute their wealth.
So inventive these guys. If only we could harness that ingenuity for the common good instead, it would have a huge impact.

Yes
Uber
Airbnb

LLMs?
Last two are clearly “US dollars” and “printing press”
