That is the winner right there.
I would bet my life savings they already trained on your data
Right. My theory is that for all of the AI companies that have that donβt use my data option, itβs just an option on the screen. It doesnβt actually do anything. They still use your data.
Nothing intelligent will come of assimilating my code.
I think the only thing I have on my github account is an arduino light blinky thing I wrote at 4 AM while crossfaded because a friend needed a glowy wizard staff for a party. It can only make the model worse.
Stupid, even naive question. What about AGPL code used in this training?
Would that means that the output is also AGPL?
They already trained their AIs on basically all the GPL code. They don't care.
Should "we" care?
And if so, what we can do about it?
That legal question is not yet clearly answered. I think absolutely yes, but the Megacorps and pro-ai people don't seem to care.
lol, enjoy my bugs Octocat
