The Linux developer community promised almost 20 years ago [1] that no release of the stable kernel will ever break something that worked in a stable kernel before. AFAICT, this promise holds. If you upstream your driver, the community will take care (cf. AMD), if you don't your users experience occasional pain (cf. NVidia).
What the OP is talking about is an aggregate, ie. two distinct pieces of software talking to each other over an interface, which is explicitly "non-viral", cf. AGPL v3 § 5.
That being said, the AGPL v3 is on the more arduous side of things, so it's easier to avoid them completely in a business context.
Sure, that seems like a reasonable interpretation to me.
However, I don’t have any specific recommendation against AGPL v3. Accounting is just one specific field where licensing virality could have particularly complex implications.
You may be interested in "immutable" distros like OpenSUSE's Aeon, Fedora's Silverblue or the kind-of-Debian Vanilla OS. If you go and try Vanilla, by all means try the beta.
Today's AI is not to blame for anything because those AIs lack agency. Take a good look at the theory and real-life algorithms and soon you will realize that GPTs are just better parrots. Tools that they are the blame does not lie in the tool, but in the user. Not unlike guns.
It is not the idea that matters but the execution. Execute well and you will succeed with a mediocre idea, execute badly and the best idea in the world is not going to help you.
Preach it! I'm always dumbfounded by the insanity on MS Windows (and nowadays Gnome, too!) that disallows copy-pasting into the UAC. Do they want me to use weak passwords? I don't get it.
It is tangentially discussed further down. Despite appearances the internet is a fragmented space with different laws and regulations depending on the location of the user. The service provider has to account for this. And while many large cooperations just steamroll the smallest and disorganized entities (e.g. Liberia), this does not usually work with better organized ones (e.g. Nigeria). This can make it too onerous to run a given service in a given jurisdiction with a low ROI. For example, do business in Argentina, try to lawfully get your money out, and see how far you get.
Epiphenomenons are so delightful. Once they occured they are often easy to explain, e.g. by Invisible Hand explanations [1] like in TFA, but it is still hard to predict when they happen.
