  • Wow, you have some anger issues. Relax.

    Nobel Committee repeatedly awarded the peace prize on political basis like for Obama and now Machado. Multiple war criminals, genociders and segregationist received the award AFTER they committed those crimes like Elihu Root, Woodrow Wilson or Henry Kissinger. Some committed war crimes after they won the prize like Aung San Suu Kyi or Abiy Ahmed and the prizes were never withdrawn. Like, what the fuck are you even comparing? An award for a book author that went transphobic 15 years after she received the award. By your logic awards should be only given to dead people or they will be political.


  • What are you saying? That the prize is politicized because they gave Rowling a prize 15 years before any of her transphobic comments? They should predict the future and not give it to anyone who will do something bad in the future? If they take the prize back will it stop being politicized?

    I asked them if they considered taking the award back. Let’s see if they respond.



  • I’m also fine with them using data they can get for free like, I don’t know, weather data they collect themselves?

    Data hosted by private individuals and open source projects is not free. Someone has to pay for hosting and AI companies sucking data with army of bots is elevating the cost of hosting beyond the means of those people/projects. They are shifting the costs of providing the “free” data on the community while keeping all the profits.

    Private data used without consent is also not free. It’s valuable, protected data and AI companies are simply stealing it. Do you consider stolen things free?

    I see your attitude is “they don’t hurt me personally and I don’t care what they do to other people”. It’s either ignorant or straight antisocial. Also a bit bootlickish.


  • Ok, so you think it’s ok for big companies to break the laws you don’t like, cool. I’m sure those big companies will not sue you when you infringe on some of their laws you don’t like.

    And I like the way you just ignored the two other issues I mentioned. Are you fine with AI bots slowing sites like Codeberg to a crawl? Are you fine with AI companies using personal data without consent?








  • I’ve been saying this for years (maybe I need to start a blog?). Being able to make an app and make a product are completely different things.

    If one person can quickly create an app someone else can as easily create open source version and just give it away. To offer a product you need sales, customer service, technical support and so on and creating this organization has nothing to do with writing code. There are exceptions like video games where one person can create and distribute a product but it’s because it’s more art than engineering. For a SaaS platform to be a “product” it needs to offer functionality that’s impossible to implement for a small team in a short period of time or evolve using AI.
