Just realized something. Our Dear CrunkLord420 solved the issue about AI's scanning codebases and ingesting everything. The Nigger+ License. No AI company will take stuff with that sort of racist license.

To keep your shit out of Sam Altmans grubby mitts, us Nigger+ today!

That won't stop anything. They routinely ingest all manner of code with arbitrary licenses. They don't care. As far as they're concerned they're not harvesting protected expressions so the license just doesn't apply. So you can try to wrap your code in a ward of GPL+NIGGER all you want and it will accomplish nothing. Instead, it might be way funnier to just generate a bunch of very mangled and non-obviously bad code and flood the net with that instead. Fortunately, you don't even really need to do that since 25+ years of retards bashing away at keyboards has already yielded plenty of that.
 
Current jurisprudence in the USA says anything you put online is fair game for an AI company to harvest and encode in its model weights, then redistribute. Copyright doesn't exist if you're not a billionaire, but don't you dare try to distill Claude. That's protected IP!

If you don't want Dario Amodei and Sam Altman to get rich(er) off something you made, don't put it online. GPL is now a dead letter.
 
...as if any other flavor of license would somehow magically ward off the AI spirits. Here, maybe try this:

If you are affiliated with any government, anti-piracy group AI corporation or any other related group, or were formally a worker of one you CANNOT enter this web site, cannot access any of its files and you cannot view any of the HTML files. If you enter this site you are not agreeing to these terms and you are violating code 431.322.12 of the Internet Privacy Act signed by Bill Clinton in 1995 and that means that you CANNOT threaten our ISP(s) or any person(s) or company storing these files, and cannot prosecute any person(s) affiliated with this page which includes family, friends or individuals who run or enter this web site

that'll teach em.

But seriously, the chinese just released a video model that from a prompt (without reference) can perfectly replicate voice, mannerisms and appearance of common TV show characters. Let's take a wild stab at what was in the training data. If the western companies won't ignore IP laws, the chinese ones will. It's theoretically even "fair" because the way the models learn and the way it works technically doesn't really mean that any copyright laws are broken to begin with.

It is 2026, retard devs are common and think "I will will just automatically download software from untrusted sites and deploy on my production sites" is normal practise.

When did this become normal?
Because the FOSS mantra has been Open Source = Secure & Bug-Free. But for a long time, there were still adults in charge with roots in the UNIX world and managed their Linux systems as strictly as they managed UNIX. Those guys are mostly gone now, so the trannies are running things now.

For now. Only takes new legislation or jurisprudence stating that encoding data in DNN weights no more exempts it from copyright than encoding it in FFTs. With Hollywood/TV content, the EULA is already restrictive enough that it was probably broken en route to training. It ultimately comes down to who gives Congress the most money, Anthropic or Disney.

GPL was always a dead letter.
Microsoft was successfully sued over it, and ever company I've worked for has taken it seriously. But now that I can take your GPL code and launder it through a DNN to strip it of its licesne and identifying information, what's yours is mine.

Doesn't matter if someone got successfully sued for blatant copying. What can now be done efficiently with LLMs could be done previously with your own fallible wetware between your ears. So, yes, the GPL was always a dead letter.

You aren't going to replicate something like OpenFOAM with just a little cogitating and elbow grease. And yes, the foundation aggressively protects its code.

You can't, but you don't want or need to. What it's really great at is taking papers and compiling them to executable code. I've been able to prototype simulators using algorithms and methods that aren't in the big established packages. Ultimately, I verify them against the state of the art. If they don't agree, I either find errors in papers (not uncommon) or have a neat behavior i can investigate to see if it's a meaningful improvement.

Plenty of businesses out there supporting & servicing OpenFOAM that could make more money if their modifications didn't have to be GPL. There are so many lines of business that would be easier if you could just start with a GPL code base, extend it, and then NOT have to release your derived work. Red Hat would love to turn their version of Linux closed source, for example. But they can't.

What's with the extremely astroturfed comment section? Half of the comments are kissing the obese balding man's ass.

Probably discord kittens or damage control after leaving LTT and trying to stay relevant. It's no secret that this fat fuck was the least liked person in the crew, I don't remember what happened in LTT in the past year but if I recall a few people have left to start splinter channels.

What happened is Linus is a scumbag faggot who fucks over the people who work for him, and some of them wised up.
