As i understand, Linux is under a license (GPL) which explicitly prevents closing the reuse of its code. So it’s all about legal interpretation of “reuse” and so far the GPL stands up against abuses. I suppose that a company specifically targeting the source code for the intend of creating another OS might need to hire more lawyers than developers with far from certain results. But who knows, in a world where billions $ are free as soon as “AI” is mentioned in a business plan.
AI as a tool for unleashing the devastating power of unregulated capitalism against its enemies, what a brilliant coup by the techbros and banksters. Not to mention the actual breakdown of community sites by AI scrapers, mostly using dirty botnet hacking techniques. This poison will eat itself one way or another. The question is: what can we do to make this happen sooner than later?
Looks more and more like a vulgar Ponzi scheme. Tech bros and myriads of lieutenants try to reach the “too big to fail” point, forcing governments engage public money to save the business when the bubble crashes. Brilliant.
Sure, but it’s all about 12 digit figures, not about making sense.
Those figures are just as virtual as the “success” of these fools. Sadly the damage done by this gigantic bubble is already very concrete, but its explosion might have terrible consequences for a lot of honest people.
A bit of patience, the burst of that bubble is coming… (https://www.forbes.com/sites/petercohan/2025/10/15/ai-bubble-may-pop---wiping-out-40-trillion-learn-what-could-happen-and-what-to-do/)
This article is so bad, take it with a pinch of salt. There’s a very long history of bogus announcements around Aadhaar, governments (remember it was introduced by Congress in the name of anti-corruption) pushing it down the throat of people despite Supreme Court rulings that it cannot be compulsory.
But in India maybe more than in most places, so many people seem to believe this is a good thing to comply to such stupid use of the worst technologies, as long as the can showcase their shiny latest smartphones.
Assuming you keep a critical eye on the results, surely AI can be used for some meaningful things like the ways you found - thanks for sharing them. But i could bet that most people will be stuck at the BS generator level with its poisonous effects on them and the society at large.
