Amusingly, the project/company that the person you're replying to is using .AI domain (see their HN bio), so clearly their opinions about how ccTLDs shouldn't e

  It shouldn't be a ccTLD. Look at these arbitrary .ai ccTLD rules [1], as originally posted by p4bl0: > The terms and conditions of .ai domain names include things such as "not asking for investors" (without an Anguilla license to be a bank, broker, public company, ICO, exchange, or gambling site) and "not violating copyrights", both of which are… complicated for a lot of AI-related startups that chose to use a .ai domain. That's arbitrary and horrible. Thoughts shouldn't be so encumbered. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39367730 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39367730

    These don't seem arbitrary but totally in line with what a ccTLD means. Domains with the .ai TLD must obviously respect Anguilla law, just like the use .gov is restricted by the US government.

  They mean .ai should exist but it shouldn't be managed by a foreign country. ;-)

  I think they believe that .ai should exist as a TLD, but not as a ccTLD. They'd basically like the Anguilles to not be in control of this TLD. Using it despite that is not inconsistent. Not that I agree with them, by the way. ccTLDs have to exist, countries have an obvious write to host their own TLDs without having to rely on others.
