You think they're making money? I don't think so. Anyone can do this in silence, behind NDAs, with their own people. No need to put this out into the open on such an obvious target for litigation.

But wouldn't it be fun if these lawsuits led to the situation that the first published implementation gets copyright? I bet that would paralyse the entire IT industry for years, allowing Europe to catch up (unless they're just as stupid, in which case China handily wins the race).

I doubt that just that argument some would win, because there have been several cases where it didn't. Like in the case where it was obvious the AI was trained on images from a given painter, the plaintiff still could not show reproduction of the works.

Good luck with that lawsuit.

Friend of mine is an IP lawyer and he's working on an office clone to see how far he can get. It's actually important for digital sovereignty. Thank Trump for the urgency on that topic.

And if it finds critical bugs in my software I'm happy to pay the price, instead of seeing the company go bankrupt.

And you also have to ignore the CEO of curl, who is saying the same thing. And thousands of others who are using this daily and saying the same thing. Or just leave your head right where it is, all cosy and warm.

What factual arguments? You're in denial, that's not an argument.

Just read the latest info from the CEO of curl on how "meh, AI slop overload" changed into "shit, they're serious!" over the past three months. That should scare you. Or alternatively, just don't look up and there is no problem.

Well I'm happy paying a lot more than I do now. My productivity is rocketing, so as a freelancer it pays for itself ten times over.

The USA has introduced two new problems every time they tried to fix one by being ignorant murderers.

Vietnam firmly entrenched the horrible NV maoists in power.
Irak created ISIS.
Al-Qaeda was another one, born out of US interference in the Middle East.
I'll admit that Hamas and Hezbollah were the result of Israels actions and even outright support in the case of Hamas, but that was underpinned by the USA.
Afghanistan? Do I even need to say anything?
Iran being controlled by Khomeini was the direct result of murdering the democratically elected leader and installing a dictator.

Don't even get me started on South America. Those people crossing your border in the South are the direct result of the USA installing dictators and reducing the people to poverty.

There is no high ground to find for the USA. They only create problems. They've never solved one.

With AI, it is now easier than ever to demonstrate why you should not rely on basically "digital hearsay".

Of course you can argue that. You can argue that huffing coal makes your lungs grow stronger as well.

You do you. But at this point we all know that that's just shilling for the oil companies.

Those are explicitly banned in the EU AI Act. Now, there are some serious problems with the AI act, one of which is that it has been lobbied to death by copyright holders, but this ban is something we can likely all agree on is a good idea.

DotNet bytecode will work fine. Highly efficient representations of abstract languages, easy to translate, plenty of documentation.

When was the last time you tried this? 2024? Even last month and current week AI is already a world of difference. Codex 5.3 is a leap up from codex 5.2. Opus 4.6 is much better than 4.5. And don't use generic AI for coding tasks, ChatGPT 5.4 can't code it's way out of a wet bag.

improving the code at check-in is a terrible idea. At most it should add a task to the task list that you can review. At least, that's one of my rules in agents.md: everything goes through the task list.
