They can’t fork it now because the fact that the AI commits aren’t labeled as such means there’s no way to tell which need to be removed.

So... they can't do that because they can't tell the difference between the human code and the AI's code? So that means that either A. The human code is also slop or B. The AI's code is on par with the human's code. This comment really proves that this aversion to AI is purely ideological.

Look, it's okay man. You can play pretend with the other principled smart people in the dole line while the rest of us actually contribute to the economy. :) I just can't get over how clearly delusional you people are.

But I appreciate the horrific level of ill will you seem to enjoy hurling at a stranger

Why thank you, dinner tasted a little better than usual after reading this comment.

... Aren't open source projects supposed to share? And aren't AIs mostly trained off of open source code?

See, I think the people in this thread are mostly programmers who realize they're about to lose their jobs. Personally, I don't really care. I have real world objectives that need to be accomplished so I'm going to keep paying my API fees until the local models catch up. Maybe you guys should learn to swing a hammer or something. Lol, what a joke.

But even if he goes metaphorically vegan, his code is still going to feed the AIs.

You rarely see such well reasoned responses on reddit. I think I like it here. Bravo sir!

If the social media platforms are the problem, then why control the devices and not the social media platforms? Makes no sense unless there's an ulterior motive.

It's an open standard that could lead to tighter controls on devices in the future. That's an extremely slippery slope. Wouldn't it make more sense to require age verification for social media platforms and outlaw online gambling? Why deanonymize the devices themselves? I suspect it has nothing to do with protecting children.

If I had to speculate, I think the people in power are scared of how much on-device AI could empower the masses and they're laying the groundwork to curtail it right now.

I know where you're coming from. I'd say it's algorithm driven and platform centric consumption that's bad. If things were more open, it'd be easier to use things like RSS readers to control your influences. The laws should be enforcing open standards, not closing things down.
