Re: genAI killing open source, one strategy I've been pursuing lately is closed-sourcing everything going forward, but forming human relationships with other developers. I then literally just... send them code for stuff that would help their projects, from my own codebases, and tell them they can feel free to integrate it without owing me anything.

I've been feeling pretty good about that strategy so far. I like that it places my human relationships first, without exposing my work to either corporate exploitation or LLM mining (for later corporate exploitation).

@zkat you could have your code on a platform with a stronger moral compass, like codeberg, and license it under gplv3 to dissuade corporations

that's what i'm doing, at least

@zkat i feel it's also important to cultivate communities around this. ones that will go against corporate exploitation and stick up for eachother
