JR Smith on his role when he got to Cleveland:
“When I got to Cleveland, I was like, “Oh sh*t they really don’t need me to score. My job is to play defense. Yeah, you shoot, but like you guarding the primary scorer night in and night out.” For me, that was a job of somebody who couldn’t score. I was a scorer, but I’m looking around like, sh*t he’s probably the best offensive player I’ve ever seen. He’s probably the best scorer I’ve ever seen. He just came from averaging 30 and 20 every night. Hey. Hey. Switch, Switch. Hey. I got him don’t worry about it. What? Sh*t is easy.”

I was having this EXACT conversation over the Christmas break.
It's not just finances, but AI kills the DESIRE to contribute. The joy of OSS was the human aspect. Knowing a human on the other end needed your solution. When the consumer becomes an agent, that feedback loop is broken.
If the consumer is a bot and the 'small details' are abstracted away, why would anyone want to dedicate time to something that takes so much effort when it is already not being paid for said contribution? Why would anyone want to sacrifice time on a Saturday Night to solve an issue for an OSS project?
There is no reason to do so.
We aren't just losing potential clients or users.

I am a product of community. So many people poured into me at different stages of my life; people who would not benefit from a thing! So many teachers, peers, those peers parents, random adults in my neighborhood...etc
I think of how important money is to all people in today's society and i see how it rules so many decisions in our lives. So much so, that what seems like basic moral values are being compromised because people "feel " like they are choosing between themselves or other people
