Maybe someone should suggest, sudo needs compression capabilities and suggest a great developer, being helpful with that one? :D

That's something i wonder as well. AI needs data to be usable. But what if all the data it gets is just generated by AI?

The “largest ever investment” remark felt less like confidence and more like a “nothing to see here, move along” PR reflex.

> So losing a bunch of them won't impact the technological advancement of your society.

This reminds me of Douglas Adams’ Hitchhiker’s Guide, where a civilization decides that phone sanitizers are useless, until removing them quietly collapses everything else. Declaring work “non-essential to progress” usually just means we don’t understand its role.

How about uploading them on mega, dropbox, mediafire or some quickly done wix page? :D

Well, one company is doing already that. It's Valve and their ongoing work on proton, steam deck (which runs on linux) and much more in that space.

The policy isn’t about whether those tools raise good points. It’s about not letting agents act autonomously in project spaces. Human reviewed, opt in use is explicitly allowed.

Additionally, it comes across as pretty hostile toward new contributors, which isn’t the intent of the article at all.

Maybe not targeted specifically at this project, but… can we please stop turning everything into a business idea?

It’s something I’ve been noticing more and more over the last few years: everything gets turned into some kind of monetization scheme, or at least it feels like nothing has value unless it can be turned into money.

That said, good luck with your endeavor!

P.S.: RAMBnB? Do you eat RAM for breakfast in bed? Bold choice! :D

Oh wow. That something like this is necessary is kind of sad. At first (while reading the title), I thought they just didn’t want AI-generated contributions at all (which would be understandable as well). But all they are actually asking for is that one understands (and label) the contributions they submit, regardless of whether those are AI-generated, their own work, or maybe even written by a cat (okay, that last one was added by me ;).

Reading through the (first few) comments and seeing people defending the use of pure AI tools is really disheartening. I mean, they’re not asking for much just that one reviews and understands what the AI produced for them.

It would be interesting to know whether such warnings also apply when the suspected spyware is attributed to a user’s own government.

The problem with calling it “full stack” (even if it has a widely understood meaning) is that it implicitly puts the people doing the actual lower-level work on a pedestal. It creates the impression that if this is already “full stack,” then things like device drivers, operating systems, or foundational libraries must be some kind of arcane magic reserved only for experts, which they aren’t.

The term “full stack” works fine within its usual context, but when viewed more broadly, it becomes misleading and, in my opinion, problematic.

I really wonder when the point will be reached at which the South Korean government steps in and starts to take a closer look at the growing long-term supply commitments that companies like OpenAI are indirectly driving with major memory manufacturers such as SK hynix and Samsung Electronics.

Allocating a very large share of advanced memory production, especially HBM and high-end DRAM, which are critical for almost all modern technology (and even many non-tech products like household appliances) to a small number of U.S. centric AI players risks distorting the global market and limiting availability for other industries.

Even within Samsung itself, the Mobile eXperience (MX) Business (smartphones) is not guaranteed preferential access to memory from Samsung’s Device Solutions (DS) Division, which includes the Memory Business. If internal customers are forced to source DRAM elsewhere due to pricing or capacity constraints, this could eventually become economically problematic for a country that relies very heavily on semiconductor and technology exports.
