"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

It's irrelevant to your point but this is absolutely not true. As far as I know they don't have legal basis to violate software licenses of new projects added to github, but even if I'm mistaken on that an enormous number of projects were on github when microsoft purchased it, and almost all of them were at minimum licensed so that code usage required attribution. Microsoft has been very aware that no person or organization behind a project hosted on github has the financial resources to take them to court.
