@TamsynUlthara No, these programs do not learn, they do not think. One of the points is the unresolved question of copyright of LLM generated code. Most probably it can't be GNU licenced. Reading code of course is ok. And btw LLMs are created in a very unethical way. A lot of stealing and human suffering. We should at least consider how much human suffering we as a society find ok, if it helps us to write recommendation letters and stuff.

@aral Western values anyone? Unbelievable. Just wow.

@j2bryson @alasaarela But this exactly was the problem from the beginning: The other side could be bought, so it had to happen. Just like i.e. github. The #fediverse can not be bought, just like #codeberg can not be bought. If purchasing is possible, purchase will happen and always by someone in the 0.1%. We should use unpurchasable infrastructure designed to avoid any kind of lock-in. I do not see any actor declaring the birdsite a utility in the forseeable future.
