As a professor of software engineering, I'm feeling an existential crisis coming on. Are we preparing students in vain? Last term was the first time I had senior project students who didn't have a job lined up in the Fall of their final year. Maybe it's time to retire.
- bgwalter 1y agoI would say it's time to fight back. Politicians need to be educated that "AI" is plagiarism and is used as an excuse to scale back the workforce. It also ruins the thriving intellectual landscape. Since you are a professor, they might listen to you.

- whamlastxmas 1y agoYeah the corporate bootlicking around all of this is weird. We’ve hated patent trolls and Disney’s abuse/corruption of the copyright system and record label lawsuits, but suddenly intellectual property is great?
- bgwalter 1y agoGeneric piracy is for example distributing a commercial unmodified video with full attribution. You don't normally create a derivative work. Plagiarism is training on generously licensed open source software and creating a derivative work without attribution. Not all hackers were in favor of piracy, the majority of open source hackers have always been pretty protective of their licenses, which were written before the existence of the laundromats. Taking all IP and using it against its creators is entirely new and does not match the piracy issues.
