First, they restricted code search without logging in so I’m using sourcegraph But now, I cant even view discussions or wiki without logging in.

It was a nice run

    It’s an interesting debate isn’t it? Does AI transform something free into something that’s not? Or does it simply study the code?

      There’s no debate. LLMs are plagiarism with extra steps. They take data (usually illegally) wholesale and then launder it.

      A lot of people have been doing research into the ethics of these systems and that’s more or less what they found. The reason why they’re black boxes is precisely the reason we all suspected; they were made that way because if they weren’t we’d all see them for what they are.

          I doubt they have a factual basis for their opinion, considering

          they were made that way because if they weren’t we’d all see them for what they are.

          Is just plain wrong. Researchers would love to have a non black box AI (i.e. a white box AI), but it’s unfortunately impossible with the current architecture.
