Yes. And the thin is even if such a claim fails, it could tie up the GCC project in court for years and may even prevent them from distributing the compiler for a while and equally bad things. This way, they can point at the contributor as the guilty party, rip out the slop and replace it, and move on. The contributor may have a slight legal problem though...

Indeed. Edison did it, why not the LLM assholes? To be fair, Edison actually managed to develop a somewhat working product after he had patented properties he did not yet have. The LLM fraudsters will likely need a few years or longer to fix this little problem here. If they can fix it at all, that is. Fundamental problems are those where you may not be able to fix them.

Governments have the right to do anything your stupid neighbor lets them.

And about 45% of the country is composed of your stupid neighbor.

That's not quite enough to sell the other 55% down the river. But since most countries have winner-take-all first past the post voting all you need to do is apply a little voter suppression at the county level to stop about 6% from voting and your stupid neighbor gets to decide how you live your life.

The unwashed masses had knowledge for a while now. Even before the Internet, there were public libraries. Did they use them? Mostly not.

The problem here is that this puts making dangerous stuff in the hands of morons that would have never been able to do it before. And morons also do not understand consequences and there are many very aggressive morons.

We are not. That is all not very difficult and LLMs can deduce how to do it from other stuff. Sure, they will get things wrong and hallucinate sometimes, but making cocaine was discovered about 125 years ago, the first nerve gas was 90 years ago and bomb making was discovered by the Chinese in the 11th century. This is all not hard to do, given a general applied science background. The only real problem is that you may end up killing yourself if you are not an expert.

The problem is that there are people dumb enough to not manage with a general web-search, but just about smart enough to manage with LLM instructions where they can ask questions and the the LLM to diagniose problems.

If you are talking engineers or scientists in any physical science, they all can do massive damage. They just routinely understand that this is counterproductive and hence it basically never happens.

Yes to both.

Learning involves insight and no serious legal assessment will ever accuse LLMs to have insight. As to derivative work, the only way to "clean" input is a clean-room process and that critically involves some person doing a creative process to turn a spec into a product. If that happens to create something similar, it is fine. But the key is the creative act that made the original is NOT copied and an new (not necessarily different, but necessarily independent) creative act is used instead. And as LLMs doe not do "creative" either....

Obviously, the LLM cultists will see that very different, but the courts will very likely not.

Interesting but how do you respond to Trump fucks kids? Because Trump certainly does fuck kids and he was made president of the United States by a bunch of people who like you do not care the Trump fucks kids. Or you do care but you wholeheartedly approve of it like in that onion video about how the GOP is having a fight between there pro pedophilia and very pro pedophilia wings of the party.
