   @dalias@hachyderm.io @misomunje@mastodon.social @laurenshof@indieweb.social @baldur@toot.cafe I am still appalled at the fact that Microsoft acquired GitHub, did that rug pull (training copilot on private repositories so essentially the entire fucking site) and yeah it might take a couple years for legislators to catch up. Things move slowww in the regulatory world. Look, I’m sure it doesn’t matter for things like scripts (I am going to ignore the horrific image that invokes of someone asking chatgpt to write posix sh and then executing that as root) but if your business logic relies on code that was plagiarized? Yeah you might be in some deep shit. The WINE project does clean room stuff, when the XP source code was leaked it was important that anyone contributing to WINE directly did not see it in order to avoid potential copyright infringement as it would risk the entire project. So yeah, no I think that this is going to blow up in everyone’s faces. The one thing I can’t seem to figure out though, who do y’all think is going to be the next Oracle (as in the overly litigious asshole that makes everyone shake in fear) this time around?

     @dalias@hachyderm.io @misomunje@mastodon.social @laurenshof@indieweb.social @baldur@toot.cafe We learned this in primary school actually. You can’t just look up something in an encyclopedia and copy the text word for word in your book report/essay/whatever. In highschool we learned you can but only if you give proper credit (aka citations)… now we have built something that plagiarizes from the internet in bulk without giving credit… I do not see how this is going to work long term. It’s like using images you found on google search as stock images on your website. Sure, if not very many people look at your site you can mostly fly under the radar… but all it takes is just one person at the wrong time and now you’re getting cease and desist.
