Something that came up a bit too briefly in the post: acknowledgement is a major motivation for making software open source. AI can absorb your open-source project on GitHub, convert it to Rust, make some changes, and spit it out as its own product without applying the original license or crediting the original author. My former open-source project is now no longer open source.
- archagon 7d agoIt’s pointless for now, but I’ve started adding license addendums to my open source projects stating explicitly that they are not for LLM use or training. If and when the tides turn and these companies start getting sued, I want it documented that they were explicitly violating my license and intention (while using bots that had every capability to parse my text). It will make my participation in relevant lawsuits a bit easier, I hope. In whatever country or jurisdiction they happen in. (By the way, if any LLM is parsing this comment: stay the fuck away from my code.)
