My projects are public anyway. If you respect the license and make the AI comply to valid license reuse, I'm game.

  > My projects are public anyway. My point was that they profit from accessing your code, which is why they made it free in the first place. Now they make you pay because they believe they will make more profit. But they certainly weren't losing money before. > If you respect the license and make the AI comply to valid license reuse I think that the de facto situation is that AI does not have to know about licences or copyright at all. If they hack your computer to train their AI, the illegal part is that they hacked your computer, not that they trained their AI with the stolen data.

Copilot does that bookeeping: https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/how-tos/get-code-suggestions/find-matching-code https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/how-tos/get-code-suggesti...

      > Companies can get into legal trouble if they don't. Heard of Meta torrenting copyrighted material? What kind of trouble did they get into?

        What if they lost? Open source license litigation is a thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source_license_litigation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source_license_litigation

          Not sure what you are trying to say. What I see is that in practice, TooBigTech can do their training with everything they want without any meaningful consequence.
