Tetris Creator Claims Free and Open Source Software Destroys the Market... 

Tetris Creator Claims Free and Open Source Software Destroys the Market.

Good for discussion / debate.
Reply welcome as it's from Russian Tetris creator so mixed worlds O_O

(money, capitalism, gaming, programming etc)

Clip in question:

'Free Software should have never existed,' since it 'destroys the market' by bringing down companies that create wealth and prosperity.

When asked about Red Hat or Oracle's support-oriented model, he called them 'a minority,' and also criticized Stallman's ideas as 'belonging to the past' where there were no software 'business possibilities.'"

Cold Machines and Cold People!? (we need warmer processes)... 

Cold Machines and Cold People!?

(caring doesn't come as a cold machine, server or cold process)....

People are not going to work well inside templates of and general mentality. Must be warmer!

Cold Machines and Solider-like people *AI*nt it.


If you start using AI and then AI starts using you, are you going to be shocked?... 

If you start using AI and then AI starts using you, are you going to be shocked like Wizard of Oz characters?

The same people and Capitalistic template are behind Industrial Tech... Don't be shocked at the end even with the domestic supply.

It's efficient mainly to do what they want, more than Freedom and actually caring! Just another machine in .

AI = Artificial Increase / pushing up prices... Arbitrary Increase for profit... 

AI helps 'Artificially' increase prices and it's all to maximise profits for them more than us.

To force people to pay more using whatever Tech that will help them.

(Kind of like IBM helping track / count people in the genocide, though no proof my side and speculation probably that there could be such coldness of selling tech for whatever reason.)

I believe already this is arbitrary increase is already happening but with AI make doom quicker...

Basically as demand increases so does price but way deeper than that.

Will be worse IF domestic levels of people accept it into their homes and hand over their data and daily usage habits a bit like Facebook did / does... < = = all priceless survey type stuff for the AI suppliers allowed to see what you're using while you to use their 'services'.

AI = Another Invasion
or
AI = Arbitrary Increase

Arbitrary Increase is mankind's doom,..

█▄ike your local supermarket when you buy lots of the same item ( 🔔 this tells them it's too cheap' 🔔 )

█▄ike when you're booking your flight tickers for airplanes 🛩️ :kirby_fly: and ticket prices creep up on the sister sites strangely, because they know what you're looking for now and prices go up as time passes and you search more
(They see what you need and push prices up everywhere so you have no choice on all sites which is why you do better to pay quicker than 'shopping around')

█ Clever AI... working behind the screen (for the the company people) to make targetting easier... while people think it's faster for them (maybe for a quick second but not long-term).

█ Sentiments here of 'sale' when it's not really a sale. Also I worked in supermarket and shocking how things increase (and seeing all the old tickets for same products even a month back... much cheaper and "sale" only after pushing up prices!)

Artificial Intelligence... is it me or doesn't 'Artificial' in it's name give away mostly what it is?... 

Artificial Intelligence... is it me or doesn't 'Artificial' in it's name give away what it is?

Like:
artificial flavouring
artificial additives
artificial people
artificial flowers
artificial insemination
artificial info (from computer
and who knows who behind it)
artificial screen
artificial as in aesthetics of maybe info we could get some other way more direct

At least partly in each sense of these words
where "artificial" is not usually wanted and often faked
on top as another layer, manipulated by other people / BigBiz + Governments mostly

Tetris (Тетрис) is a tile-matching puzzle video game originally designed and programmed by Alexey Pajitnov in the Soviet Union on an Elektronika 60 while working for the Soviet Academy of Sciences at their Computer Center in Moscow with Dmitry Pavlovsky, and Vadim Gerasimov ported it to the IBM PC.

Tetriminos are game pieces shaped like tetrominoes, geometric shapes composed of four square blocks each. A random sequence of Tetriminos fall down the playing field. The objective of the game is to manipulate Tetriminos, by moving each one sideways and rotating it by 90 degree units, with the aim of creating a horizontal line of ten blocks without gaps...

Tetris: From Russia With Love

= Business, Economics, News & Politics, Technology / 14 Comments

Tetris is probably one of the most famous computer-games that have ever been developed. Alexei Pajitnov creater this simple, yet addictive game in 1984 as a student at the famous Soviet Union’s Academy of Science. It initially worked only on the Soviet Elektronika 60 Computer and got very popular among staff members and students at the Academy of Science in Moscow. It’s worldwide popularity became Tetris, after Nintendo published it on their video-game console and the gameboy. This resulted in millions of dollars of royalties – but not for the developer himself, but the Russian government. Poor Alexei.

TETRIS HISTORY- WHO WAS INVOLVED? (MAIN PEOPLE) 

TETRIS HISTORY- WHO'S WHO LIST

Before Tetris became a global gaming hit, it was at the centre of business battles between Western corporations and Soviet bureauracies. These are the men who fought at the frontline...

☻ Alexey Pajitnov
Invents Tetris in 1985 while working at the Moscow Academy of Science's Computer Centre. Alexey moved to the USA to work for Microsoft after the success of Tetris.

☻ Evgeni Nikolaevich Belikov
Head of Elorg, the Russian ministry for import and export of software and hardware. Belikov is the man with whom all negotiations about Tetris had to be done.

☻ Robert Stein
President of British software house Andromeda. Sells Tetris rights to Robert Maxwell’s Mirrorsoft UK and US affiliate Spectrum Holobyte before he’s negotiated anything concrete with the Russians.

☻ Kevin Maxwell
Son of Robert Maxwell and head of Mirrorsoft UK. Buys all Tetris rights (except arcade and hand-held) from Stein not knowing that Stein has no formal contract with the Russians.

☻ Henk Rogers
American entrepreneur and video games enthusiast. Nintendo employs Rogers to get the hand-held Tetris rights to support the launch of Game Boy.

Free is good, Free + participation is better... 

'Free' of cost can also not be developed enough towards people participating in growing the mentality of whatever it is given free to people (so free+participation is more ideal here towards growing anything which is towards overall freedom or low cost mentality as part of freedom).

This is a subtle but MASSIVE difference - because when you can *allow* people easier routes to participate *with* you (almost anyhow) then you can grow a whole new stem rather than just gifting others more one-way and almost narrow-minded.

Participation (and the receiving) helps people keep *everyone* in the picture more and get better almost as a cycle in itself.

That overall cycle is formidable when many people go to it or do something. It can be very underrated as way of connecting and pumping people through it all.

Participation Experimenting

Classic war games turned into everyday smaller war games... 

There's a more classic meaning to war and that is easy to see, but it could be transmitted in everything (imagine you have bad parents that could manipulate everything even if it seemed ok)

war...fighting...life... is quite natural but perhaps now more moving into the mind and fighting there FIRST!

Even the good people I've tested their limits so I know it's not easy (and family forget it! Or make plans and move on)

Life yes can be defined as fighting somewhat and where it goes wrong where physically some use to define themselves (as bullies and they know it!)

and it even by how much your or others allow you to live under them (especially without care in every step or seeing near 0 transparently)

so...
fighting = war (including softer types if you're a professional bastard or just governments want total control right, can't let it slip otherwise all will expose that gap)

Soft-war exist and it's just soft on our side, money etc still is there being pumped... but it takes more to see / feel playing online games..

People can't see that as it's a longer chain of finance or war.
Some that are uncomfortable with war but ok playing it for hours.

It's confusing perhaps but all 1 reality I feel (and more than ever just 1 person doing the bad work or owning everything and send commands like it was a game to them!).

The moral battles is with you playing these games

Are you playing too many games avoiding the real games to be solved... (in the mind first...?)
