  • None. You’d need a custom license. All open source licenses follow the Open Source definition, of which:

    Rule 1: Free Redistribution The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources. The license shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale.

    Rule 6: No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research.

    And really rule 4: Integrity of The Author’s Source Code The license may restrict source-code from being distributed in modified form only if the license allows the distribution of “patch files” with the source code for the purpose of modifying the program at build time. The license must explicitly permit distribution of software built from modified source code. The license may require derived works to carry a different name or version number from the original software.

    Now anyone that does fork it to add such unwanted features still must follow the other parts of your open source license, so GPL is still best since people can just strip out the added-on features later since they’d be, theoretically, obligated to open source their fork… but the entire framework of open source software is built on the concept of ‘I make a thing, whatever you do with it is your problem as long as you agree to that same term.’



  • Nobody cares where Jensen sticks his wang

    The entirety of the western internet disagrees with this theory. There has been nothing this week except “OMG China ruined the AI bubble by forcing Huang to sleep with a CHINESE spy! This is awful! How dare CHINA ruin the entirety of the AI speculative bubble and wreck our economy!”

    the entire reason its news is exactly the exchange of GPUs that this article is claiming is a nothing burger.

    This is a nothing burger though. The restriction of sales to China has caused massive investment by the Chinese government into domestic chip production, and has caused AI companies in China to focus on optimization instead of propaganda. Hence why pretty much all ‘free’ or ‘low cost’ agent offering sites use Chinese models which are more than twice as efficient in token use. China is continuing with this. The company that did violate US sanctions and Chinese law was renting access primarily to non-Chinese citizens, or via obscured status compute pools.

    This was objectively not ‘oh evil china bad spy honey pot super secret sales!’ This was, 'guy stuck his dick in a half dozen women, including one who used her affair for a Singaporean company providing… 0.02% of Nvidia’s revenue to China.



  • To be clear NFTs tried to be a replacement to traditional proof of asset ownership like paper deeds and such. Then a bunch of people used that to create contracts for ownership of links to assets and sold that to speculative investors, aka morons, and thus another actually neat technology with a good niche dies.

    Similar to the blockchain being an amazing technology that could instantly verify transactions with complete accuracy; and instead got used for alternative currencies.

    Cryptocurrencies (blockchain-backed contract ownership of assigned mathematical conclusions) tried to be currency, NFTs in popular culture tried to be art (as in how art is actually bought and sold in the real world for money laundering.)

    AI (GAN including LLMs), like blockchain and NFTs, has its extremely specific narrow use case for society - one that is currently overblown and is being used incorrectly in all parts of society, and wasting the resources used and tarnishing the technology at the same time.







  • What did she have to lose? Her fortune, her family’s assets, any and all legitimacy she has. While you say she’s a lame duck, she’s still ‘respected’ by representatives in power. By making this stance clear, it’s another thing that can be used against representatives that think Pelosi and her choices have any positive impact on democrats or society - aka, it’s a cudgel people can hit AOC on the head with the next time she tries to defer to centrist dems on something.

    Pelosi might be gone, but her legacy of ‘raising’ junior reps is not, and those junior reps, for ‘some’ reason keep doing her bidding even when it goes against the mandate they were elected for.


  • A) Now that the articles have been introduced they can be brought up for a demand vote by the Speaker at any time, including in January when the speaker chances.

    B) This is about creating and destroying political capital, as the other user said. Those 11 dems now explicitly endorse Pete Hegseth and the Trump regime, including all of its crimes. It’s on record now, and that record will be used by both republicans and dems against them when they’re up for reelection. It’s a vote to show your hand and your donors.




  • Political capital is spent and earned via appearance. If you vote for a bad bill, it is on you. If you refuse to vote for a good bill, it is on you. Both actions take political capital away.

    The opposite earns political capital. Take the recent fuckup where 11 democrats decided to attend an Israel-first rally instead of voting to bring the Hegseth impeachment vote to the floor. Those 11 dems essentially fucked themselves. Permanently. They lost all political capital they have, and harmed the democratic party as a whole.

    Just because they chose to miss the vote. They weren’t going to make a difference, realistically, but guess what, the appearance of corruption and compliance is far worse than making a useless vote.


  • The guy that’s on video 30 miles away at the time of the shooting?

    The shooting where police released an AI generated security cam video to ‘prove’ the shooter did hardcore parkour across roofs while repeatedly shoving a rifle that has never been found in and out of his pants, while allegedly having a different deconstructed rifle in his pants, which he later perfectly put back together and gingerly placed in the woods not too far from the shooting for no apparent reason?

    Hopefully whoever made Luigi the deal he took to take the fall doesn’t make it to Robinson; I’d love to see prosecutors go in front of a jury and explain how this guy that teleports and rebuilds and disassembles rifles instantly while doing parkour has let a jail keep him locked up this long.


  • Hillary Clinton, the woman who declared all poor black and brown children to be super predators and as First Lady lead a popular nation-wide propaganda campaign to get far-right bills passed which essentially created the school to prison pipeline that is still causing generational harm to Americans today and has, in fact, been tied directly to the Trump-era propaganda against immigrants which uses the exact same playbook, is the enemy to every single American citizen.*

    But it wasn’t just her incredibly racist history, it wasn’t just that she was another Clinton after we saw what happens with legacy presidents with W. Bush, it was her campaign. “It’s Her Turn.” She refused to campaign in most battleground states, she assumed all blue states would automatically vote for her and felt like she didn’t need to campaign hard in those either, and her entire platform was just a more conservative, more war-mongering version of Obama’s 2012 platform – after 4 years of that failing.

    Like Harris, she also simply ignored the working class and its concerns and issues. Things weren’t great in 2016. They’re so much better than they are now, but it was already on a downturn and some member of the elite, someone who has never suffered once in her life, someone who has never been hungry or had to pay bills herself, comes in and declares herself the next president, that she’s the only one worthy of being the next president, that she’s the most qualified, that does not once listen to or echo back the actual problems people are having every day and provides no solutions to them…

    She had zero chance to win. The fact she funded and encouraged news coverage of Trump also didn’t help. She fundamentally did not understand how unpopular she was, how unpopular her platform (or lack thereof) was, or how popular anyone that was not establishment would be against her.

    There may be some sexism involved, in extremely small communities. But the fact there are plenty of red states with women governors, senators, and house members proves it is not about sexism, it is simply the fact they were both incredibly shitty candidates. They had no hope of converting people from the right, and had no want for people from the left to vote for them.
