This is part of a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.

AI, F/OSS and Copyright —

Warning, petty conspiracy theory ahead: 1) Buy GitHub to mitigate possible legal contingencies 2) Help build an LLM that can write (and slightly modify existing) code at an amazing rate and ever-increasing quality 3) Train it on data from the open web, including GH of course 4) Produce “unique” code where the rightful copyright holder […]

Hollow —

It sounds like you But it’s hollow It’s soul is ruined It’s so shallow Replicating nuance like autotune Fooled some, but not all They say it’s coming soon You won’t be able to tell It’s hollow Tomorrow You can’t emulate the soul Impossible
