Most people are unaware that even open source projects have licenses: Permissive license, Strong Copyleft, Weak Copyleft etc.

Just why? AI browsers have serious security/privacy implications.

2. Blog series: https://brave.com/series/security-privacy-in-agentic-browsing/ - Comment on builder.ai has been tricking customers and investors for eight years – selling an advanced code-writing AI that, it turns out, is actually an Indian software farm employing 700 human developers 4 weeks ago:
It’s not true, you can check this article debunking this claim written by Gergely Orosz (Pragmatic Engineer Blog) : https://blog.pragmaticengineer.com/builder-ai-did-not-fake-ai/
The racism against Indians is so normalized, trying to discredit and dehumanize Indians, it’s horrendous! Be objective and have some empathy…
- Comment on Devs gripe about having AI shoved down their throats 1 month ago:
The software engineer acknowledged that AI tools can help improve productivity if used properly, but for programmers with relatively limited experience, he feels the harm is greater than the benefit. Most of the junior developers at the company, he explained, don't remember the syntax of the language they're using due to their overreliance on Cursor.
Good luck for the future developers I guess.
companies that've spent money on AI enterprise licenses need to show some sort of ROI to the bean-counters. Hence, mandates.
Can't wait for AI bubble to pop. If this continues, expect more incidents/outages due to AI generated slop code in the future.
