    I was contributing to Open Source almost certainly before you were born, so wind your neck in kid. But, even if we suppose you are right and the GPL somehow restricts the use of licensed works for AI training (although a quick refresh on the license shows no evidence that it does) - while GPL fanatics make the most noise, it is absolutely not the most popular open source license.

    GPL variants covers roughly 20% of the licensed work on Github. The vast majority of such work is permissive open-source licensed, with the MIT license covering almost 50% alone. That’s because the vast majority of open source contributors are not in fact wannabe Citizen Smiths, but rather people who want, without restriction, to contribute to the advancement of computing.

    Have you ever read an open source license? They gave away those rights, voluntarily.

    If you have evidence that AI is being trained on world licensed to the contrary then by all means get exercised about those “workers” rights (right on, man,) but given the vast quantities of code released under permissive open source licenses, it’s not going to change anything.

    How is it “stealing” if it’s open source?

    I have sympathy with artists, authors and the like whose work was taken to train AIs. But software engineering - nah. We gave the training data away for free, neatly catalogued in bitesize chunks with explanations for every change - we don’t get to call “take backsies” now.


  • That seems unlikely; trust me, there are services running behind Cloudflare tunnels that are doing more requests per second than whatever you’re hosting does in a year.

    The only times I’ve had performance problems with Cloudflare tunnels it’s been intermediate network kit that didn’t like IPv6 or didn’t like QUIC (or both). You can try disabling both in cloudflared to diagnose (at least, you used to be able to disable them/switch to HTTP/2+IPv4, it’s been a very long time since I’ve needed to so I’m just assuming it’s still an option.)
