ok genuine crisis of faith here. I've got two games I've been working on, both are intended to be fully open source. One is nearly ready for a public release, the other is probably realistically a year or two out. I feel it is important for the source to be available for the former, and it might not yet be part of any training sets because it only has 17 stars on github, but I'm assuming it probably is already.

The latter is largely not online at all, because I simply haven't built it yet...

I was ambivalent about my code going into training sets, but now for a variety of exciting reasons I am no longer ambivalent. So here's the conflict: the only way I can think of to realistically prevent it from ever going into the plagiarism machine is to simply never make the source available. There we go. That's the crisis of faith.

This is all possible because we had a healthy commons and so that's the reward for building a healthy commons: enclosure by billionaires who are promising the end of everyone's ability to make a living in a creative field. If that really will come to pass, we'd have been better off if we never shared anything on the internet and that really hurts.

@aeva yep, oof

The idea that the kind of people who took the piss with open source were just a minority was what I held on to. But it’s been completely blown up by the availability of tools that fully automate taking the piss

That and the fact that many programmers I used to respect don’t seem to think that’s a problem makes me want to retreat to a cave and never emerge
