I like the idea of bringing back the BBS over SSH but
- CONTRIBUTING.md
Nah, I'll stick to IRC.
Who cares? If it is good and works, I don’t care who or what wrote the code.
The people who actually spent the time writing the code and documenting it, remember these LLM’s have to learn from somewhere.
A lot of repositories use the GPL license.
I doubt many LLM’s are sighting their sources or giving proper credit when they spit out code snippets.
"sighting sources"
No proofreading skills.
I learned writing code for free, by looking at other code and reading online manuals.
I also learned how to play the piano by listening to people playing it and getting online sheet music for free.
I guess I am a baddie now.
You're missing the point. These companies took the knowledge of the world for free and are now selling it back to us for money. Your comparison doesn't hold up. A better analogy might be a private school stealing exactly one school book and rewriting it slightly, then selling it to the pupils. And that a billion times over
Do you have a bot army that scrapes websites and repositories? Do you not give credit when credit is due? Do you poorly plagiarize work and claim it to be your own?
While I appreciate the learning aspect, the abuse of these LLM’s is blatantly clear.
