    he says it’s all about open source

    how does he verify the spat out code is not a proprietary snippet

      While a program is eligible for copyright, anything small enough to be considered a snippet likely wouldn’t be unless it is sufficiently expressive or original.

      Oh I’m pretty certain none of their code is written by AI. If you read what he says carefully, he’s most impressed with how it can identify issues and guide the project to what needs attention. They’ve loudly complained about low-effort AI submissions previously, so AI code is not what he’s really talking about here.

      AI is absolutely killer at issue identification and is getting better. He knows, as they all know, they won’t be able to survive without it going forward because if it can identify vulnerabilities for them it can identify vulnerabilities to anyone.

        that’s fair, my bad

        the problem could arise when it comes to figuring out whose responsibility it is when the snippet makes it’s way into the code though

        also llm arguably has access to a lot more proprietary source codes than a few humans normally could

        the way people willingly give access to a lot of IP, that normally would be somehow guarded, to llm companies is puzzling

        the fact that they do it because the management basically asked them to is even more puzzling
