Baldur BjarnasonIf you had any doubt that the rise of LLM tools is a threat to F/OSS, even beyond the fact that its trained on it without permission, and is now frequently used to replace it (why import a battle-tested library when you can have an "agent" half-ass it?), people are now using LLMs to create derivative rewrites of open source projects to give them cover for bullshit relicensing attempts.
Andrew GravesI get that the AI rewrite is a load of BS, but the relicensing could happen without any AI, so the real issue in this scenario is the disrespect towards all the original authors and people that have been involved. The AI slop just 10x the whole situation.
The question is: Why do people STILL think it's fine to relicense stuff, even if they're not even legally allowed to? This hasn't happened for the first time, jeez 😅
@graves501 "AI" 10xing an existing problem in software dev is such a recurring thing at this point that it's practically a cliche. 🙂
@baldur I guess the right emoji for this situation is this one: 🥲
Why can't we have nice things anymore without people doubling down on whatever enshitification 😅
