I was just summarizing for the people who are too lazy to go read anything and will just stop here


Primitive accumulation is a bad term. It works if you’ve read the theory behind it, but otherwise it sounds like someone saving up a bunch of money then starting a successful business compared to what it is which was colonial genocide, enclosure of the commons, and mass starvation as people were ripped from agricultural labor and cast into the factories and mines to work for feudal lords turned industrial capitalists.
Anything “vibe coded” is almost certainly stealing GPL code. Not like the industry hasn’t been doing that for years, but now they don’t even need to hire engineers to steal the code, they just close their eyes and pretend it’s all their own.
