Can this be used to host illegal content? I.e.: fork a popular repo, commit a pirated book to the fork, delete the fork, use the original repo to access the pirated book? What would github do after receiving a DMCA request in that case?

To offer a counter anecdote: for a while I enjoyed reading books from the list of joint winners of the Hugo and Nebula awards[1] - and later from the list of winners for a single award (same, Hugo or Nebula). [1]: https://en.wiki

I guess it depends how you look at it. I’d say hiding symptoms is the same as reducing symptoms. In this case when you reduce symptoms with masking then you get different symptoms, like exhaustion. And yes, this doesn’t seem healthy for the

Summarizing, we’re dealing with closed source software coupled with an AI model trained on unspecified data. Vendors glorify the latter and never say how much work is handled by the former. Trust seems a big factor here.

It’s not just about the tech abstraction mountain, it’s about the app logic and dev process too. A react native JS app with a clear spec and a solid release process can be more reliable than bloated software that receives an untested hotfix
