I am still not entirely convinced that "disallowing code from being used by AI" is going to hurt megacorps in the long run - or the individual.

I guess plenty of people have already made their own call on this matter but I'm still genuinely undecided. As much as the megacorps are rushing to rule the AI roost - it's possible it will turn out to be a universal solvent to some degree.

But I'm also pretty lukewarm about AGPL and SSPL. I feel there's a huge amount of fragmentation in open source land and I'm often unable to use code in situations where I feel the original creator would probably have been ok with it.



The phrasing "used by AI" was a bit simplistic. I agree that this is not a black/white situation. Maybe everyone will benefit eventually. But it would have been nice to have the option.
