If not corruption, why corruption-shaped?
Look, as long as the baby-shredder produces passable code, I’m all in.
Commenter is right. It remains to be seen whether or not it’s actually possible to license code generated this way as anything other than like MIT.
A person didn’t really make it, and so a person doesn’t really own it.
The hiccup is that the statement is that pure AI output is not subject to copyright, but once a human does something ‘transformative’ to it, then that is. So if a human can work back to the untouched AI output, they can go to town but they can’t reproduce any modification that was done after the AI generation. Since in practice, the GenAI row output is not provided it’s impossible for the human to know what the human touches were to undo, so that scenario does not present a whole lot of realistic implications.

Seems like this is in line with the Software Freedom Conservancy’s statement, then? It’s up to the individual. If you don’t like it, you can just not use it, and if you really don’t want others using it, you can just… fork it like he says?
That was exactly Linus’ point, especially as their comment came from the context of people debating AI bad/good in the kernel mailing list (which is totally not the place to be having that discussion).
“Fork off”, apparently
The world works like this…They create the problem to solve the problem. This is the global variable. Gipity is stolen work, a bludgeon to suppress wages and it doesn’t think. At best it is a search engine with extra features that is inefficient. It has yet to turn a profit. It requires your free work to make the PDFiles rich. One big ass rug pull on the workers. Why is it when people get old they just sellout. What a turd. I don’t know how long it will take for some to get it but you best believe I am going to rub that salt in their wound. How do you tell someone they are stupid if they are too dumb to understand? The luddites are my gang gang and they were not a gawd dang son of a beach… you better think about it baby baby.
PDFiles
Is that necessary on Lemmy instead of just saying pedophiles?
I’m with Linus on this. The reality is that when used responsibly, LLMs are tools that enable some amazing stuff to be built. Responsibly meaning the code it generated is read, and refined.
This is a separate issue from data centers and corporate greed. You can always just run a local LLM. If you are digging your heels in at this point then you are ignoring the reality the same way someone who was using punch cards would ignore an IDE.
No great men of history… no code gods… throw him in the bin. Garbage
AI is just an assisting technology, and that’s it. There’s no point to break a sweat over Intellectual Property and other theoretical (non-enforceable) “if” scenarios.
Mechanics cannot be copyrighted, period. If a certain function is achievable by code, you cannot copyright it.
If the code happens to be used in a private code base, sucks to be them. Good luck trying to lawsuit EU countries as an American business. Or better yet, good luck in lawsuits against Asian companies - I’m sure they’ll take you seriously!
If something is publicly available on the Internet, then it’s not private anymore. You have to live with that fact. Ever shared something embarrassing online? It’s going to live on the Internet forever now. Same goes for code.
Intellectual Property is sometimes a meme. It only applies in very specific scenarios where you can apply a patent or other protection, sure, but it still doesn’t guarantee the world will take it seriously, because guess what… The world is not under jurisdiction of the United States (which happens to be very fond of its patents).
Stay safe out there, AI is just a helper, and let it remain that way. Let the others worry about security of their own code, rather than skimping on salaries for cybersecurity professionals who would otherwise secure them against their code leaking to the public domain.
Linus has lost the plot. Now that he has his pockets full of money he no longer cares for the art or taking on corporations
