I just updated my home network to 2.5gb so I'm glad to see this.

You're fundamentally misunderstanding my argument.

If you use AI to, for example, learn how to decompress or recompress a file, how can you be sure that the outputting function doesn't match one-for-one an (open or closed) source implementation? You literally cannot, as the AI system generally operates on a black box and cannot "learn" how to attribute and, cynically, the people who make the AI tools do not want to learn how to attribute code from the original developers. Since AI learns code from source code, there's a higher liklihood it matches a known implementation that it does represent a wholly unique implementation.

If you take Godot's renderer code (MIT project) and copy and paste it into a project that is also MIT, that doesn't mean you can get rid of the Godot attribution. You must preserve the attribution of the code -- this is important to learn for all open source developers.

The "learning" argument you're proposing, which is buying into AI anthropomorphisation, still doesn't protect you from copyright. If you have photographic memory and worked at adobe, for example, you can't simply "learn" the code and output the same code to an open source competitor. This is generally why people who work on closed source try to avoid working in same-field open source -- the risk of violation is way too high unless you intentionally break design decisions.

Individual code snippets might not be covered but it depends on the line count -- but that also changes from territory to territory. IANAL, so my general advice for people who are "learning" from closed source to contribute to alike open source: just don't. There are other open source projects that can use your skills. And if you're looking at other open source projects and taking whole functions, you must attribute the project in question (this is pretty easy but depends also on the license of the code you're looking at.) AI doesn't have the capacity to understand any of this nuance, and I'd argue it doesn't understand this by design: hurting copyright hurts open source more than it hurts big exploitative businesses.

Worth noting, most documentation for a language will generally have CC0 copyright. But it is important to copyright code snippets in documentation, otherwise you can argue that the copyright is non-permissive (wholly owned by the individual who posted it.)

The issue with KDE accepting AI generated code is that it's arguably not the right of the programmer to "submit" code produced by an AI as the copyright of the training material is questionable. It's like the inverse of white-room engineering, there's actually no way of knowing whether the code coming out of the black box is "original" or not. Additionally, it's debatable whether materials produced by an AI can even have their own copyright (under US laws, it would make sense if it wasn't applicable to copyright) which also means it cannot be licensed under most open source licenses.

They need to establish rules grounded with the understanding that AI generated code cannot be copyrighted by the user who produced it, which means it cannot be licensed under the KDE licenses as is.

That's my 2 cents. I do think them having a discussion around it is important going forward.

UGH. Remind me again where they got the money to buy all this stuff in the first place?

Just add it to the big pile of reasons to hate Microsoft. They literally can't even hold on to things that were good without turning them shitty lol.

Crazy to think it was actually that bad. I don't feel like the quality of Sonic Frontiers reflects just how make or break the series was at that point in time.

It's crazy how normalized gambling became the last 10 or so years.

It used to be really hard to gamble legally. Now it's hard to find someone not pushing "legal gambling" everywhere. Meanwhile, we still can't smoke weed in some parts of the world? What?

More cases of "rules for thee and not for me", of course. You won't see the DOJ arresting anyone in the Trump family making the same kind of bets.

If this guy's lawyer is smart about this, they should ask for discovery on specific instances of insider trading that we know about like the Iran bombing bets made on Kalshi or similar platforms. It would probably be a quick way to get the case dismissed or at least settled out.

The world's first opt-in computer worm. 🐛 🪱

I wish Europe would just embrace the fediverse. The techno oligarchs are not your friends and most of them are invested in the US.

Electron is the only cross platform gui toolkit...

If you ignore QT, GTK and everything else.

I'm so glad that Microsoft makes an awesome cross platfor--- wait, no, but they contribute code to--- hmmm ... Hey, what does Microsoft do to make apps more portable again?

It's stupid as hell to share any personal information with a company that is interested in spying on you and feeding your data to the nearest advertiser they can find.

Like seriously -- are people using their brains or what?

The term "unalive" is so cringey yet dystopian that I don't know whether to feel embarrassed or concerned when I hear it.
