@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu @Mastodon@mastodon.social Then please work harder to protect our intellectual property rights. Because right now I can't put any open source work online without it being scraped into the AI machine. Open source becomes a meaningless word without copyright protection.

@rolle@mementomori.social One major obstacle, personally, is that people expect a released open source code to have some sort of a governance model, which no one really agrees what is the right one, and active ongoing maintenance. And they expect the maintenance to happen on their preferred schedule, whatever that is. And I'm like, I'm just doing this for fun, I'll patch things if I feel like, or not at all. And if you start sending me 1000+ lines of code to review, I'd rather just go outside and throw rocks, or whatever. Also I prefer free software licenses, cause I don't feel like doing the corporate overlords any extra favors, and that just brings about its own group of haters.

Is Open Source licensing meaningful anymore, or are we just left with public domain? What are the legal distinctions between GPL, Apache, and MIT when AI companies and LLMs ignore the LICENSE file of your project? There's no license text that they will respect and nothing will stop the automated, industrial-scale strip mining of our intellectual property. #OpenSource #FreeSoftware #FOSS #Copyright #Law #GPL #AI #LLM #SoftwareDevelopment #Agentic #Coding #CodingAgent #FOSS_LLM

@codinghorror@infosec.exchange @womble@infosec.exchange There's been very little to no progress for any kind of basic income in this decade or last. Not even in the more progressive social democracies. Those with wealth and political power are not interested in changing the status quo. And they're not convinced by existing research which they are already aware of. This is not going to change by saying "research it".

@Julianoe@mastodon.xyz @mwichary@mastodon.online @joachim@boitam.eu This is a great insight. I interact with a few people who I would describe as having a fair amount of phobia for new technology. Any new app or software update is a source of great deal of stress and resistance. The process of exploring, discovering and learning a new UI is not pleasurable or fun for them. I was surprised to see when they adopted AI chat apps for regular use before I did.

@codinghorror@infosec.exchange @womble@infosec.exchange Artists, authors and musicians are already creating interesting arts and books, and music. They've been doing it all along. Yet the great majority of them struggle to make any decent income that would cover even the very basics of shelter, security and healthcare. We did not need to wait for this moment of (heh) another "industrial revolution" to start supporting arts, authors and musicians. Yet we chose not to. Why? And why would this moment we're in be any different?
