       Open-source software is in existential danger -- and the ramifications of that are grim for everyone but the opportunists who'll make a few bucks from its demise.https://www.404media.co/this-ai-tool-rips-off-open-source-software-without-violating-copyright/?ref=daily-stories-newsletter

       @dangillmor “Without violating copyright”. False. Most probably the LLM has seen the open source code as part of its training process.

       @dangillmor How is that the ripped off software can have any copyright on it?

       @dangillmor what would prevent someone from using this on proprietary software to create a clean room implementation of that? What makes it uniquely suited to doing that to Open Source software? Looks to me like it's just pointed toward open source to make a specific point but should be usable on... anything, if it's actually doing clean room work.
