Counterpoint, you'v just changed publishing incentives. If I write 10 public interest stories, but notice a particular topic is making me more $$, I'll focus in on that. You could end up with bad actors/PR management types pr

Is there a big enough dataset of 'good' code to train from though?

Yeah this is just trading largely known & controllable labour management risks for some fun new unknown software ones. You can negotiate with your human engineers for comp, you may not be able to negotaiate with as much power against An

'app' isnt part of that trademark, but on other products (Windows App) it is. Searching the store or a company portal for one of these rebraned apps returns dozens of hits because 'windows', 'copilot', '36

The Australian Electoral Commision as an independent body does a lot of heavy lifting towards keeping the washminster system running (no gerrymandering and a world class voting system).

Except that as a english speaking non american, this happens literally all the time with ecommerce? It's not until I get to checkout I realise they do not ship to my country or want to deal with me.
