@glyph @chriswarcraft.bsky.social Chotiner: I didn’t say it was a mistake. But it’s clearly had a major effect on the world, on how we relate to each other. I think it’s reasonable to ask who took the initiative, originally—
Guy who put the bomp in the bomp ba bomp ba bomp: I didn’t—(laughs nervously) you know, when you look at the whole picture—as I explain in my book, the ram-a-lam-a-ding dong situation at the time—

LLM advocates and their enablers will hide the fact that they are posting stolen code— they brag about this, their most widely-effective argument for LLM code being allowed in OSS is "if you tell us we can't, we'll do it and not tell you"— and attempts to track which open source projects use stolen code will be harassed off the Internet. I do not want to be part of this open source community, so the only options I seem to have are to wall myself off from it, or stop doing open source altogether.
