Did they even read what they wrote? They say they’re not doing layoffs, but the internal email states that interview performance could impact “continued employment”. Anyone getting that absolutely should be worried about their job.

Just staple your website to a telephone pole

I think it’s still murky as far as AI generated code goes. (IIRC You can’t, but not sure enough to say so authoritatively)

But code historically has been very copyright-able. Oracle’s business model was mostly buying companies and then suing people for infringing on their newly-acquired IP.

If an LLM was something you could train on your GitHub repo or an internal knowledge base, and ask it natural language questions about that, AND it didn’t need an 800 acre datacenter to do it, I wouldn’t have so many hang-ups about it. Or maybe even train a model in a programming language and have a model that’s tailor made for writing C, or LISP, or Brainfuck or something.

But that’s not what they are. They only function if you hoover up everything the light touches and feed it to the machine, to the point where rare, irreplaceable literature is being shredded apart for training data. And god help you if you try to take your ball and go play somewhere else as the AI boosters profess you must do, they will follow you there and scrape you anyway

But have you considered that it’s like REALLY good at programming? /s

what’s the p(doom) for me putting my phone in a blender for being reminded about this

Otherwise I’d want for sick fucks like you not understanding that a crime is a violation of someone else’s rights…

You mean like the right to not have your likeness fed into an algorithm and assembled into pornographic content without your consent? Or does having your image laundered by an LLM somehow magically make that ok?

What the fuck is wrong with you?

Yeah, if by “rouge” you mean purposely taking guide rails off a model, giving it access to hacking tools, instructing it to hack, auto-approving everything the LLM does, and letting it run with no human oversight for long periods of time

There is plenty of opportunity for OpenAI, Anthropic, et. al to take a step back and think about what they’re doing before dropping the brick on the accelerator. IDK how they’re not on the hook for any of this.

Sounds like short term pain to ensure long term sovereignty

Gentoo is losing sponsors while a certain other distro keeps raking them in.
