Toxoplasma Gondii.

Damn clickbait… it took title, 5 paragraphs, and an ad break before they even mentioned what the parasite is.



Slightly late according to other predictions

> Without entering (and winning) some kind of major conflict, this was always going to happen.

If only there was a conflict somewhere with a perieved superpower, maybe a nuclear country or something that would be relatively easy to win without even entering into a direct altercation. Oh, wait!

America could’ve easily won the war in Ukraine by just ging away a bit more weapons, specifically long range missiles. It could even just tell European countries to give their long rhange missiles in exchange for a resupply for some plausible deniability.It could’ve been a bit more generous with intelligence.

Unfortunately, America elected Trump. A person who doesn’t believe in anything that doesn’t directly concern him. If it doesn’t benefit (or hurt) him personally it might as well not exist. Which make it easy to sway his foreign policy. Russia is actively trying to buy him and he thinks it’s great. It’s going to be a very fast decline of American influence as more and more countries around the world will see that it takes very little to buy an american president, allegedly the most powerful person in the world. And if any petty dictator can buy him, what worth is his power?


So basically Big Time Public License. https://bigtimelicense.com/versions/2.0.2


Too complicated, should be simple like O'sassy, i.e. modified MIT with a clause where it doesn't extend to oligopoly cloud corps.


Good for you it’s obvious for you. But there are way too many people believing they can fight a bear/moose and win.


That depends. If OP’s job is marketing then doing it before is doing the thing even if it pisses off the people who’ll have to do the thing OP made up.


You might be delighted to learn that upcoming `corner-shape` is fixing that.

Also you still can use your sliced images with `border-image`.


I get the sentiment and it’s a fair shot at license cosplay but it ain’t gonna hold.

No definitions. What is AI for the purpose of this license? What is a natural person?

At some point the text makes distinction between AI, ML, and autonomous agents. Is my RSS reader an autonomous agent? It is an agent as defined by, say, HTTP spec or W3C. And it’s autonomous.

Author also mentions that any MIT software could use this instead. It most certainly could not. This is very much not an open source license and is not compatible with any FLOSS license.

I don’t see it taking off in any meaningful way given how much effort is required to ensure compliance. It also seems way to easy to sabotage deployment of such software by maliciously directing AI agents at such deployments. Heck, even at public source code. Say, OP publishes something under this license, an AI slurps it from the canonical repo. What OP’s gonna do?


It’s not people, it’s publishers insist on it.
