This piece says more about the author's very flexible ethics than GitHub's. Honestly this was very cringy.
- iobdas 3y agoI think it's more of a matter of practicality. I don't like my ISP, but I don't really have much of a choice of sticking with them or not.
- remram 3y agoFor most places in the USA, you literally don't have a choice of ISP. For Git hosting platforms, you do, and I find it weird to write an article stating all the reasons you don't want to use a service, but conclude that you'll use it anyway as long as it's convenient. The AI paragraph is particularly weird, since it states that "it's unethical" and in the next sentence that "Copilot is a fun tool that you should use". It feels like the author was made aware of those complaints by somebody else, does not really understand or care about them, and wrote this blog as a sort of justification to keep using it. It is really strange.
