You're attributed as long as the downstream intermediaries and users/developers provide some traceable reference to your original work. Even your package's name in their dependency manifest can serve that purpose. Anyone who wants to know the original source has a way to find trace it back to you. Some projects like SPDX can largely automate it too. It can spit out the entire dependency tree, their authors and even licence compatibility information from the data.

Whenever I use some information that requires attribution, like discussions on stackoverflow, I leave the reference links in the comments in my source code. But I rarely use their code. I learn their approach. So I'm technically not required to attribute. But that's still the honorable thing to do.

Needles to say, AI stays true to the nature of those who peddle it. They don't like attribution and they completely strip it.

    I deeply hate YouTube, and I hate that I have to depend on them for some content. Their enormous resources and a huge cache of useful videos make them a monopoly. And they leverage that advantage in truly aggressive and extortionist ways, after killing off all potential competition by initially offering their services for free.

    Every platform has to have some form of moderation to protect their users from harm including bullying, nudity and violence. But YouTube's censorship algorithms are biased political bullies themselves. They kill heated, but necessary discussions and even entire topics. It's also very biased in some social topics that they essentially define the narrative and culture in seriously damaging ways.

    Examples include the topics of rapes and porn. Sure, they're distressing or disturbing topics for many. But how do you solve them if the discussion around them is completely shutdown? How do you avoid those words in videos raising awareness, crime videos, etc? And how ridiculous is it that grapes 🍇and corn 🌽 should take the fall for Google's narcissistic stubbornness? The future generations are going to be baffled by this idiocy that they inflicted on us!

    At this point they're too big to fail and they consider it beneath them to address the grievances of the creators or the audience. No company should have so much power over the society. Google should have been splintered into thousands of little pieces and sprinkled all over the planet a long time ago.

    It's high time that we leave YouTube behind and migrate elsewhere, wherever that be. Continuing to depend on them will be willful and irresponsible submission of our society to the abuses of a very toxic, greedy and unscrupulous conglomerate.

    Parents at the school were wailing uncontrollably holding the dismembered hands and heads of their little daughters they saw alive and lively till that morning. Their colorful books, bags and desks were covered with gray concrete dust soaked in their blood. Can you imagine the horror and indescribable pain? This is the 'liberation' that some in the US and the Iranian diaspora are cerebrating. This definitely isn't going to be the last.

    Remember that the school was unmistakable even from satellite images - the murals were visible in it. There is no way they can get it wrong, especially when they had enough intelligence to know exactly where to hit to kill Khomeini and two more in his line of succession. And yet, they did the illegal 'double tap' on the school! Then you have that blood demon hogshit lying through his nose about it and talking proudly about his accomplishments! I don't know how these soulless ghouls call themselves 'Christians'. The Christ I know had supposedly died on the cross for the sins of others. Not blow up innocent kids to hide his own!

    Meanwhile Bibi's son is in Florida. He's apparently 'barred' from Israel's mandatory military service. But he's not enjoying it, it seems. He's worried about 'security threats' from antiwar protestors. And at the same time, it looks like bone spurs is a familial trait for the repugnant draft dodger who calls himself 'the supreme commander'. None of his seed are required to join the military. And don't forget that this orange despot had expressed his disdain about people who send their kids to fight and die for them.

    Such soulless, sadistic, bigoted, pathologically proud, dishonest, dishonorable and bloated skinbags shouldn't be allowed to walk in public, much less command large lethal forces and deadly weapons. These sort of narcissistic psychopaths aren't that hard to identify. They should be spending the rest of their adult lives in a straight jacket inside the dark padded cellar of some remote mental asylum.

    This is unimaginably sick! Nothing indicates that this was just an accident. And it isn't the only place. Gaza, the Venezuelan boats,.. The depravity is just unthinkable. Yet the rich entitled sadistic creeps like rump and hogshit joke and laugh about it. I hope they have a special place in hell to suffer each and every tragedy they've inflicted on the world. The earlier they reach there, the better.

    This white nationalist regime of the US has unmistakable ambitions of reviving colonialism and slavery. One simple example is how rump chose to depict Canada, Venezuela and Greenland on his meme map.

    However, those horrors will be much worse this time. They're openly racist, xenophobic, sexist, homophobic and whatever other type of bigotry there is. On top of that's they are equipped with the worst form of modern technology from companies like Palantir. Scary times ahead.
