Thanks, that's interesting.

The original violation would be making a derivative product, the LLM, that was not also GPL licensed.

Do you really think that US courts will come to any conclusion other than "AI code is copywritable, the people it learned from have no claim"?

Maybe in Europe there will be fewer rights, but in the US it's going to replace humans.

For a business the only criteria for success is if it increased profit. One of the reasons why so much corporate code is awful beyond words is that they don't care abut doing a good job, only about fulfilling a business need as quickly and cheaply as possible.

Of course it comes back to bite them in many cases. The next contractor spends 5x as long to implement a feature because the architecture is crap and the code is unreadable, but the boss usually has no visibility of that and doesn't know why a feature cost what it cost.

AI is basically the same. Difficult for the people making decisions to quantify what effect it is having in anything but the very short term.

Is there any advantage over RAID5 though? Doesn't ZFS do this at a block level?

I'm a little surprised nobody makes an aviation grade SSD that has the firmware burned into a ROM, and with some RS coding to correct errors in the NAND. I guess there is probably some cost issue, as in it's cheaper to just deal with failing SSDs than to develop such a device.

It's a legally unclear situation. Most human developers do not provide a list of all the open source code they may have read or been influenced by. On the other hand, because these LLMs are offered as a commercial service, there might be issues with everything they generate.

My guess (IANAL) would be that any claim would be against the company that made the LLM, unless the code was copied verbatim from somewhere else, in which case it's no different to a human doing the same thing.

More people do office work than ever before.

This story is so old it was the reason for Unix. Once the platform controls the essential business process, it owns the business. You work for them now, and all your aspirations are moot.

Admittedly I wasn't using a paid frontier model, but I've tried it a few times with very mixed results.

One attempt was to write some code for a microcontroller to do some tricky stuff with DMA and timers to generate a complex waveform. It failed miserably and couldn't seem to understand my implementation that did work, or debug it when I introduced a subtle bug.

Another attempt involved having to develop a system to automatically crop and rotate images to be upright and remove the border. It managed to remove the border reliably, but never got about about 30% of them upright. I provided it with sample, hand crafted output to compare against, and told it to keep iterating until it got it right, but it just couldn't figure out how to do it.

Ironically if I just uploaded the images to bog standard consumer AIs like Gemini and ChatGPT, they could reliably crop and rotate the images 100% of the time. I even suggested that it use the same image recognition systems as those were using, but it couldn't make that work either.

I used to hate long form writing because it hurt my hands, due to arthritis. When I learned to type I was suddenly freed from the pain and I started to enjoy it.

So while hand-written notes are a nice idea, they won't work for everyone. I think recording the screen is going to be the only option for some kids.

It seems to disproportionately affect people on the Autism spectrum. I've been accused of it more than once, and seen people accused when to me their text reads perfectly normally.

These detectors seem to be a load of crap.

Assuming there are 2028 elections. Let's see how he reacts to the mid-terms.

They probably have intel that China is making good progress on it's "before 2030" goal. They have all the parts needed either working or in late stages of development, and their plan is conservative and focused.

What are you talking about? EV sales are booming, in no small part thanks to Trumps war with Iran.

My EV is an appreciating asset at the moment because used prices are rising.
