The backlash against AI is now a backlash against the people who build it. r/opensource banned AI projects outright, calling them incongruent with open source values. In the Nordics, Amnesty reports Denmark’s AI welfare system risks discriminating against marginalized groups, while Finland pledges to protect cultural heritage in Ukraine, a quiet act of human solidarity. Builders here face a choice: double down on code or double down on the humans who use it. The Nordics have always led with trust, but trust is eroding when systems feel opaque or punitive. The region’s strength in community-driven tech is now a liability if it ignores the human cost of its own creations. HOST A FIKA, NOT A HACKATHON This week, invite three builders you disagree with to a fika. No agendas, no demos. The most resilient networks are built on shared silence, not shared code.
