LLMs are good at coding (well, kinda, sometimes) because programmers gave away their work away for free and created vast training data.

- Lio 10mo agoI don’t think “giving away” has much to do with it. I mean we did give away code as training data but we also know that AI companies just took pirated books and media too. So I don’t think gifting has much to do with it. Next all the Copilot users will be “giving away” all their business processes and secrets to Microsoft to clone.
- gosub100 10mo agoI agree with that. For code, most of it was in a "public space" similar to driving down a street and training the model on trees and signs etc. The property is not yours but looking at it doesn't require ownership.
