Is it a half sunken ship? I’ve been following AI in software for a while now, even though all signs point to failure and a crash, it just keeps going and people adopt it more.
It’s simply not sustainable – not a single one of the major AI companies has ever made a single dollar in profit from an AI product. They will eventually get sick of spending money and investors will stop handing them more. The only question is when the money flow stops.
You’re conflating open source and free software with public domain. Open source software licenses are completely dependent on software copyright. This means that if software copyright were eliminated, open source licenses would become completely unenforceable. We may be headed in this direction anyway, but I just thought I would make the point.
That would be cool and all, but people stopped reading their code. At work if I can not explain every line of my PR, it will get rejected. I use it as a powerful tool but a lot of people just output code and think their trash belongs in production.
Llms have been great for finding and fixing bugs and cranking out code, but the systems that allow for generation of code at a direct cost of dollars as opposed to the overhead of managing and employing programmers aren’t under the intense pressure to not redo old work and so are disincentivized from either creating or contributing to open source projects.
So Open-Source and FOSS projects collectively decided that they want to jump on half-sunken ship in the middle of the ocean?
Amazing.
Time to learn HolyC and make your own

Hot take: LLMs is the best thing has happened to open source movement:
We’re literally in the golden age of free software

Although I agree with you, I had that issue well before AI was a thing:
“I dunno, I just copied it from this StackOverflow post…”
<cut to me raging that someone would do that>

@drmoose @Grandwolf319 Assuming you place zero value on quality, yeah this is great.
If you think the ship is ever sinking I’ve got bad news for you…

They can only burn so much money before investors stop giving it.
