Two years after the campaign started, in August 2021, China’s Supreme People’s Court, along with the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, officially ruled “996” illegal. It was, as far as I know, the first time that a grassroots, developer-led campaign used open source organizing mechanisms to enforce not just intellectual property norms, but labor rights norms, and ultimately ended in a legal victory.

The first major chapter of the Chinese open source story did not begin with some grand government proclamation or a visionary founder. It started, as most open source stories do, with engineers trying to solve hard problems for their company. This company was Alibaba.

I went and added AI usage metadata to my JSON-LD\nalso added a AI usage page https://rmendes.net/ai/\nand every posts on my blog have a easy to read/interpret AI usage transparency card;

\n

I went this direction because I think, AI on blogs is not a blanket, its not ALL or nothing, it should be granular, per posts.

And just because one co-draft a tutorial or long form with an AI does not mean or equal AI generated.

I posit that this approach will be implemented in different ways but will ultimately be common in just a few months/years
