In what way, functionally, is it any different than scouring through StackOverflow and blog posts until you've got whatever thing working?
- grey-area 1y agoIt’s different because licensed code on github and other websites is different from freely given code snippets on stack overflow. A blog post is not permission to reproduce code with small changes. Neither is posting it under an open source license which usually require attribution.
- detaro 1y agoquiz question: What's the license of code snippets on stack overflow?
- grey-area 1y agoNo idea sorry but the implied idea of the site is that people will use answers and snippets without attribution. Absolutely not the case with other OS code posted online.
- detaro 1y agoIt's under CC-BY-SA, which is very incompatible with pretty much everything else.
- grey-area 1y agoThat’s funny, I guess everyone just ignores that, but legally it means AI should not be trained on it either since it requires attribution, I wonder was it always that way? I think AI companies are just trying to ignore IP laws entirely, perhaps they’ll get away with it but there is bound to be a case where a small tool or game is 90% identical to a source reference at some point given the way these LLMs work.
