it seems to me that almost all "anti-capitalism" can be fairly cleanly divided into anti-bossism and anti-commercialism.

Also, 0 days since someone claimed that I'm wrong to blame free-market capitalism, because obviously all you need is regulation.
My dear brother in myself, the whole point of free-market capitalism is that it's supposed to regulate itself. People just do what's in their own self-interest, and market mechanisms eventually make everything right and everyone benefits.
If you need governments to lean over backwards setting up regulations (and constantly closing up loopholes) in order to prevent capitalists from devouring everyone and the free market from collapsing upon itself, then you're not saying that free market capitalism works. You're proving the exact opposite: that it doesn't work.

Okay, I'll give you that: LLMs aren't the root of the problem.
Capitalism is. The idea of infinite growth. The idea that people can't just live, they must with 40 hours a week to justify their existence, and they must be purchasing something all the time. Companies must keep selling new stuff. All the resources must be tapped into and exploited.
And companies are making software. They must keep selling new features and pointless complete redesigns nobody wanted. The code must keep being churned over and over again. Programmers must justify their existence by churning out absurd amounts of meaningless code. The companies must exploit them.
Then, companies are entering the #OpenSource "market". They are acquiring and enshittifying. They are hiring and exploiting. And then so many volunteers just jump on the bandwagon and keep cosplaying them. And they too churn out useless code, "sell" pointless complete makeovers, "profit" off their users (even if they actually aren't making any real profit).
And then come LLMs, perfect tools for the job. Perfect tools for exploitation, for churning out useless code, for creating addiction, and for turning everyone into mindless corpospeak bullshit machines.
