Seeing some rather recognisable attitudes in arguments against NetBSDs stance against AI generated code.

How do you know, how would you stop it. You can't stop us.

Like aren't we meant to be better than that?

Disturbingly similar attitude to when we ask folks to not scrape folks posts on the fediverse without asking.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Plus there are some very real licence considerations which will affect copyright (and copyleft).

@onepict i've probably said this 100+ times now - this policy is for committers (foundation members) only, who've all already signed contracts with a clause about tainted code.

the policy is for base only, which has strict rules about copyright for Reasons™0. We are not opting out of running any third-party code that might have used an auto-completion tool. Since the BSD license requires strict attribution, our code in base can't be used to train LLMs either.

@onepict Also way too many people confusing "tainted" for "poor quality".

@onepict this is literally the attitiude of a petty criminal / sociopath (not even an activist who generally openly says what act they are going to commit (or admits to it and accepts the consequences). I often suspect folk like this would have done actual crime in previous years (and perhaps some do, all the high tech methods used to nick cars and commit other frauds nowadays must have some tech muscle behind them)

@vfrmedia

Well it illustrates a lot of antisocial behaviour. It shows it's about what they want to do at the expense of the wider community.

It's entitled. It's kinda predatory as well.

@onepict whole tech industry is full of it, particularly from sales/marketing types and predatory behaviour is actively encouraged in adtech which quietly funds a lot of "FOSS" projects..
