New #Linux #kernel #policy: when writing code, humans can be "assisted" by "#AI", but they have to disclose it, and take full responsibility, as contributors.

While this gets celebrated as a "pragmatic stance", it simply delegates responsibilities to individual contributors that no one in good conscience can reasonably take.

Would you be willing to guarantee, legally binding, with all consequences, that your "AI" "assistant" didn't copy-paste code that's under an incompatible license? Or even proprietary, stolen one?

This is a cop out, not a responsible policy. Basically the dirty #subcontractor pattern: Everybody knows that nobody can actually guarantee what they're promising, but hey, wink wink here's their signature, they "promised" it wink wink

For subcontracting out work, it is important to have the right contract in place with specific details listed, open communication, and proper oversight established. #subcontractor #prime #quality #service
This article doesn’t discuss the issue of privatization of these jobs. There is a mention of fired workers seeking jobs among subcontractors they used to supervise. However there is no analysis of the siphoning of funds to private capitalists, nor authority to them. These private entities may pay former government workers at higher rates, but they would bill more to add profits to their grift.
