The discussion around this topic is plagued with internet tough guy attorneys at LOL threatening Johannes Link with all manner of legal retribution.

If that's not what you're doing, I look forward to hearing your action plan.


I'm seeing protesting AI fans and cheering AI haters. As far as I can tell, this is enhancing trust in the non-LLM users. Why would you think it wasn't?

Where are the cheering AI haters showing up for this one? How does this enhance trust in the non-LLM users?

Let's say a maintainer of an open-source project decided they hated Linux and added a check that, when run on Linux, the project would run `rm -rf <some directory of your code that is relevant to the project>`. Would you trust that person not to do other unreasonable things in the future?


What if, right, what if Roko's Basilisk responded to a prompt injection and blew up the WORLD, huh? What then? That'd be pretty messed up!

Back here in reality, please show me evidence that any AI agent deleted a single byte on jqwik's say-so.

I'm seeing the cheering AI haters showing up on Mastodon, fwiw. This story is today's secondary main character, the main one being rsync falling to vibe code.


> no one will use your tools anymore.

pretty obviously, no one who he's stated repeatedly he doesn't want to use the tool will use his tools any more. But there are more coders in the world than ardent AI users.


So unfair they were allowed to hit back!

> But trust in the project is more fragile than ever.

yeah and it's one guy doing that


Note that Gitea has embraced AI code, and Forgejo refuses it - if that's a criterion for you.


author of Pivot to AI here. The impacts are local, but real bad for those localities.

Also, the fact that the AI hyperscalers will sue to keep the usage secret isn't something they're doing 'cos the usage looks good.


Very annoyed Microsoft's words were extruded corporate spam reiterating the press release and how great this deal was.


Openshot is alive and well and actively developed, but it's still buggy as hell. I use it 'cos it's super simple and so easy to use, but e.g. I use a specific daily build 'cos release 3.5.1 broke libopus again.


That's the TOS for the broader Microsoft Copilot, not for the GitHub one, which has its own TOSes (depending whether your last renewal was before or after March 5) that don't include the "entertainment" wording.

But one to file away!
