   @stevel @evacide Getting patch files is horrible because now whoever reads them is tainted and can't commit a very similar fix.

     @dalias @stevel @evacide I'll take bug reports and test reproduction sequences from anywhere, but an LLM patch is at least as bad as a GPLv3 patch to a BSD project.

     Linux had that whole developers certificate of origin procedure with the signed off by chains, and then dove straight into https://www.courthousenews.com/ai-training-of-copyrighted-material-not-fair-use-third-circuit/ land merging patches that legally came from nowhere and are at BEST unlicensed.

     Bra fscking vo.

     @dalias @evacide so don't read the patch file. I'd fault mythos there for being a bit over detailed on comments and in tests about vulnerabilities. This is not what you what you want to put in public security commits, so they will need human editing

     @dalias @evacide actually, as I've seen noted on linked in, the copyright license grant is notable: it destroys the GPL copyleft and removes the need for copyright credits in MIT/ASF/BSD code. So you are giving Anthropic customers freedom from all future copyright lawsuits.
