Still, #LLM are voiding the #GPL (and #AGPL) reciprocity.
That's why years ago I wrote the #HackingLicense https://encrypted.tesio.it/documents/HACK.txt
It was designed with automated corporate #exploitation of #FreeSoftware in mind: it's goal is to balance #freedom and #communion, and it share with those that accept it much more than permissions, while being a stromger #copyleft and an explicit shrink-wrap contract.
Unfortunately, it's not compatible with GPL, because GPL is much weaker.
The fundamental issue of Free Software, the one that let people create the #OpenSource narrative and permessive licenses to exploit programmer ideals and #freelabor, was that #RMS, as an American grown up during #ColdWar, was too fond of the freedom-vs-communism propaganda to understand how lack of rules means the rule of the rich.
The problem is not commercial use of free software but commercial exploitation of free labour, as @doctormo@floss.social correctly stated.
The Hacking License does not prohibit commercial use, but requires recipient to share their own #copyright with the users of any derivative or dependant work they create as a contractual binding.
It's modelled after the research of #ElinorOstrom about Commons governance and the #Hacker ethics based on the value of #curiosity.

Even those states often praised as moral examples, such as the #Scandinavian countries, rely on vast transfers of value from the #globalSouth through unequal exchange. Their #social stability is built on the hidden #exploitation of others.

This #imperial outlet is not available to nations on the periphery. When #workers & #environmental movements in the #South demand #justice, their ruling classes cannot offset those demands through external #exploitation.

It manages the contradiction not by overcoming it but by exporting its #costs. Through #imperialism, social #democratic states extract cheap #labor & natural #resources from the #globalSouth, allowing them to sustain prosperity, high #wages, & #welfare systems at home while keeping #capital #accumulation intact.

💬 NOUVELLE BD : « Ép 32. La valeur travail »
Jean-Cro et Magnon découvrent petit à petit les joies de la propriété privée, et il n'y a évidemment pas beaucoup d'options pour ces deux-là…

IMAGE 5. Magnon et Jean-Cro se regardent avec incertitude.
IMAGE 6. Les deux sont en train de labourer le champ. Magnon : « C'est toujours pareil : avec Mammouth, on finit aux champs. » Jean-Cro : « Ouais. Et c'est une sacrée grande surface ! On aura jamais fini… » Magnon : « Roh, mais si, ça va super-marcher ! »
Note : BD sous licence CC BY SA (grisebouille.net), dessinée le 3 octobre 2025 par Gee.
IMAGE 3. Mammouth : « Si vous voulez loger là, faut payer un loyer, point. » Jean-Cro : « Mais on n'a plus une thune ! Comment on est censés en gagner ? »
IMAGE 4. Mammouth, montre un champ : « Eh bien, vous pouvez labourer le terrain d'à côté et vendre vos récoltes. »
BD en 6 images.
IMAGE 1. Jean-Cro et Magnon sont devant Mammouth qui garde toujours l'entrée de la grotte. Magnon : « Allez, Mammouth, sois chic, quoi ! Laisse-nous entrer ! » Jean-Cro : « Il est quasiment jamais là, le proprio ! »
IMAGE 2. Mammouth, inflexible : « Nan ! J'vous aime plus depuis que vous m'avez tondu. » Jean-Cro et Magnon ont un air gêné.

This cannot be sustained for long within a bounded #economy. If you intensify the #exploitation of your domestic #workingclass & #resource base in this way, sooner or later you will face a #revolution.

just here to point out i've been completely correct about the AI bubble since 2023 and only not before that cos i hadn't yet bothered
my quick crib was realising they were the crypto guys, like actually the same individual guys
fucking worldcoin man, jfc
@davidgerard omg, right?!
I went looking for this article https://www.technologyreview.com/2022/04/06/1048981/worldcoin-cryptocurrency-biometrics-web3/, started with a search for "worldcoin orb", got a bunch of positively spun pages about how great it's going to be for distinguishing humans from AI. Added "cash payouts" to the search and it's all news about progress in the token model.
Save your critical reporting folks, those articles get harder to find (even on alt search engines)
