Coraline Ada Ehmke@CoralineAda@ruby.social (2026-10-07 06:56:44) Open source licenses are predicated on imposing no restrictions on use cases. But if the technology is truly neutral, as so many claim, then the use cases are all that’s left for ethical evaluation.

When you have to choose, do you want ethical or open? Is it still ecocide if the weights are open?
