Oh, I better then go ahead and buy them at high prices before it turns out in 2-3 years that he was wrong.

Maybe they can protect themselves with a… great firewall of USA?

Imagine the failed democracy, where the elected representative says that what failed him was pursuing his own agenda, instead of the will of the people he is supposed to represent.

Or what happens to the stock price once the temporary surge in demand fades or new companies enter the market and disrupt it.

You don’t blame the knife when people get stabbed, so why blame AI for code it generated on the developer’s behalf? AI is a tool. Nothing more.

For the other stuff - I can’t take people seriously, because most people pick and choose when it’s convenient to be moral and ethical. Same people who don’t like AI pollution are using cars and plastics in their daily lives and would absolutely flip out if someone would ask them to give it up for the environment. AI is just the current “trend” to hate and be moral about because not many people are depending on it yet in ther day to day life.

I understand that people have concerns, but those concerns are only relevant if they come from a maintainer or repo owner point of view. There is an entire spectrum of how AI is used in code, and it’s not a simple yes or no thing. I am for example completely against vibe coding as it’s just a risk and liability in the long run. However, to use AI to brainstorm, get suggestions, discuss architecture, learn with examples, and assist basically like someone else is sitting next to you while you code yourself… that is something completely different, and results in a completely different outcome.

In the end, it depends on can the person at the steering wheel take full ownership and accountability of the code they produced, with or without AI.

No, because it’s about the what, and with or without AI is the how.

We don’t have disclosures “built on a Linux/Windows/macOS machine” or “built using IntelliJ/Eclipse” so why is it important what tool was used to do something?

This is the right way to go. This will incentivize many companies to rethink their strategy, and slow down or scale down AI adoption. After that and the revenue drops for many AI companies, they will back off purchasing all possible RAM and storage in existence which will drive down pricing. And when the prices get to normal again, we will simply buy more RAM for our local machines and run free models.

This news kinda makes me happy. Shit’s starting to fall apart. Finally.

Oh, funny, I also have sentient AI at home that I developed, but choose not to release it. My mom also created one accidentally while baking a cake but it was to powerful and she also decided to best destroy it like it never existed. You know, for everyones safety.

It would be great if people stop using social media in general.

So, basically instead of having one huge gatekeeper, we now have many smaller ones.
