What sounded like impossible in absurdity few years ago seems to be today’s norm. Is that a competition of apocalyptic claims, a new religion? Actually these guys keep on trying to convince themselves and others in order to inflate the bubble till the end. It seems to be like coke, they’re so high on the power it gives them.
Recommend Veracrypt.
Or Luks which is well integrated with Linux. Are there significant advantages with Veracrypt?
Who actually tried this?
Open source is not only about publishing code: it’s about quality, verifiable, reproducible code at work. If LLMs can’t do that, those “vibe coding” projects will hit a hard wall. Still, it’s quite clear they badly impact the FOSS ecosystem.
Oops . It’s the EU’s anti-circumvention law.
Source: 
The European Commission claims to promote open source and freedom from foreign tech abuses, etc. It now seeks feedbacks from communities: “Towards European open digital ecosystems”.
It seems to be perfect timing for getting rid of that article 6 which turns
Assuming you keep a critical eye on the results, surely AI can be used for some meaningful things like the ways you found - thanks for sharing them. But i could bet that most people will be stuck at the BS generator level with its poisonous effects on them and the society at large.
Not sure i understand the idea taking over an open source project when one can contribute or even fork it.
Anyway, it looks like France is quite Open Source friendly. For ex. the “DINUM” (gov. IT agency) has quite a few FOSS projects, finally could support financially Matrix, and there’s also quite a push for open data (https://www.data.gouv.fr/). About surveillance i suppose it’s quite bad indeed, but i don’t think it matters if the software has a licence like AGPL.
Finally, i doubt there’s a safe haven for privacy nowadays, but please prove me wrong :)
As i understand, Linux is under a license (GPL) which explicitly prevents closing the reuse of its code. So it’s all about legal interpretation of “reuse” and so far the GPL stands up against abuses. I suppose that a company specifically targeting the source code for the intend of creating another OS might need to hire more lawyers than developers with far from certain results. But who knows, in a world where billions $ are free as soon as “AI” is mentioned in a business plan.
AI as a tool for unleashing the devastating power of unregulated capitalism against its enemies, what a brilliant coup by the techbros and banksters. Not to mention the actual breakdown of community sites by AI scrapers, mostly using dirty botnet hacking techniques. This poison will eat itself one way or another. The question is: what can we do to make this happen sooner than later?
Looks more and more like a vulgar Ponzi scheme. Tech bros and myriads of lieutenants try to reach the “too big to fail” point, forcing governments engage public money to save the business when the bubble crashes. Brilliant.
Unless there’s a proper assessment, ZKP looks a bit like a magic wand to a very complex problem. Provided that it’s done right (how exactly?), it might turn to a superb fingerprint facilitating tracking and surveillance for every one. Eg. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/07/zero-knowledge-proofs-alone-are-not-digital-id-solution-protecting-user-privacy?language=en.
The “voluntary” aspect will be just like when Don Corleone makes “an offer that he can’t refuse”.
What changed in the German stand the earlier from “That’s not acceptable, that won’t happen under our watch”? I vaguely read somewhere (?) that there might have been a deal with the French about something completely different in exchange of support. Is there any information on that?
Sure, but it’s all about 12 digit figures, not about making sense.
Those figures are just as virtual as the “success” of these fools. Sadly the damage done by this gigantic bubble is already very concrete, but its explosion might have terrible consequences for a lot of honest people.
A bit of patience, the burst of that bubble is coming… (https://www.forbes.com/sites/petercohan/2025/10/15/ai-bubble-may-pop---wiping-out-40-trillion-learn-what-could-happen-and-what-to-do/)
This article is so bad, take it with a pinch of salt. There’s a very long history of bogus announcements around Aadhaar, governments (remember it was introduced by Congress in the name of anti-corruption) pushing it down the throat of people despite Supreme Court rulings that it cannot be compulsory.
But in India maybe more than in most places, so many people seem to believe this is a good thing to comply to such stupid use of the worst technologies, as long as the can showcase their shiny latest smartphones.
AI is perfect for fueling a financial boom: great narrative, incredible promises in short and long term, huge needs and potential, and high risk that it will go terribly wrong. Bankers love that and can create unlimited credit to fuel the fire. But since they constantly create new gambling products, one can also bet that it’s not fueled enough and is about to crash. Total schizophrenia.
