Makes it very much seem like you were only sorry you got caught — and were actually never sorry and didn’t learn from what should have been a teachable moment. Sad.

Why not give the user the option? If it then looks fine, they can keep the newer website, and if it doesn’t they can switch to classic.

Today you can use sponsored repos to still use GH as your distribution angle but also paywall certain content you create. Perhaps best of both worlds.

But Copilot doesn't take your code at best it has learned from a fraction of a fraction of your code and synthesized it with tens or thousands of like examples and the output may look similar to your code because it's trying to ac

CZ is playing 4D chess. FTX goes down and customers flee to Binance. Why pay for something that will be free? Or pay pennies on pennies on the dollar in bankruptcy court where nobody will be bidding except maybe with a 10-foot pole.

It's ironic because women represent 60% of college students, so if anything there should be scholarships for men.

Just don't upload your code to GitHub. Don't make it open source. Share via newsletters.

Licenses be damned, copyright law sits above it -- and for now, it's hard to see how this isn't fair use. The only case might be an open source Copilot alternative and GitHub and OpenAI can take any such projects out of the traini

GitHub already has this in TOS -- that is the irony of the lawsuit, it is actually in GitHub's favor this happens. GitHub can in such a case jack up the price 10x as the sole provider.

Microsoft didn't do the training. Open AI did. They only public code.

by az226 4y ago
It only trains on the GPL code, it doesn't reproduce entire code files verbatim. So it's fair use.

This is not crackpot -- this is literally how it works. Here's an example that points to this, https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2022/09/bette... Anybody looking at the source image and the

Not for GitHub -- users who upload their code accept GitHub's license agreements which allows it to use it in many different ways, including Copilot. Kind of how when you create a Robinhood account you agree to arbitration and can&#x27

I have no doubt they will -- but the specific models will be used for Microsoft engineers. There will be a Copilot for Enterprise that trains on customers' private code.

What's interesting in that case is I would argue the interface code is MORE important than the implementing code. You can hire any SWE to re-implement the entire API and it being pretty straightforward. The interface code was what actu

Shows how hilariously dumb this lawsuit is. The plaintiff is a lawyer but somehow missed the merger doctrine class.

That's not right. Copilot has a copyright supression feature, humans don't. It's actually opposite.

Copying even a single code segment literally will have you lose a fair use trial. Look at Google taking 10k+ lines verbatim and winning the case.

You're mistaking the end-user's copyright infringement with Copilot's alleged infringement. Copilot is fair use and transformative -- that is unless there is an open source Copilot that Copilot is training on, only then would

#1 is a pretty dumb argument. Should all of Silicon Valley VC backed startups send Linus Torvalds billion-dollar checks? I don't see a world where Copilot isn't fair use (at least in America).

by az226 4y ago
Not just copyright, what Copilot does it fair use. If Google taking tens of thousands of lines directly and gets away with it, it's going to be impossible to see any logic that gets AI being trained on millions of lines of code, not be

What repo do you maintain that is used by millions?

This feels like Linus Torvalds asking for a royalty check for every server out there powered by Linux.

ITT: a lot of developers who don’t value their time above $20/hr.

Probably costs 3-4 times that to power the infra. They’ll make money back if they’re able to do several step changes of improvement in cost optimization.

Copying of code needs to be very direct. Even Google copied tens of thousands of lines of code from Oracle character for character and won the case taken all the way to the Supreme Court. When Oracle made changes (even during the court proc
