I recall similar happening during Bush admin during 2000s. Many of our software customers were international. To obtain an export license we were required to scan our source code with an approved Dept of Commerce scan software vendor to look for all kinds of inappropriate code like a too strong cryptography algorithm in the licensing portion and plagarism of copyrighted code. The first couple of releases this was done were brutal. Many of the developers not far our of the university were used to taking anything from the internet/open source if it saved effort. There was not a clear company policy about this until the export restrictions. Sometimes there would be a half dozen chain of borrowing before a culprit turned up. We muddled through and fixed hundreds of flags. If I was the program manager, I'd schedule and export code scan every week to avoid late problems.
AI code is just another layer in this odorous process.
- Aperocky 7y agolmao this is hilarious. Imagine dealing with such stupidity while other countries don’t have to, instant competitive disadvantage

- asveikau 7y agoMakes me think that the big tech companies which absorb a large amount of new college grads each year have a bunch of copyright violations but won't be audited. These companies have "strict" code review policies but often the reviewers are just a recent previous year's new college grad, now overconfident by a small amount of work experience.
