I've seen a couple of Linux devs talk about how they just give a prompt to claude and walk away leaving it alone to spit out the code

While I share Linus opinion on LLMs, I think doing this shit is extremely stupid and lazy.

You’re exactly right. I should have used „generate“ instead of „create“.The point is I don’t think LLMs normally use copyrighted code in a way that would hurt open source projects.

Under the hood, they're tokenizing the queries, looking for "clouds" of tokens that are similar to the query, then returning a sequence of tokens (with some random noise thrown in) that match what their training data says the answer should be.

Lol, so how do humans code in comparison?

There seems to be legal discussions about that. It’s not quite as simple as you say:

However, there may be cases in which a different assessment is justified, namely when users use and operate the LLM as a tool that merely implements their personal creative intent. This could be compared somewhat more vividly to using a paintbrush. If the brush merely rolls over the paper, for example because it is dropped, no copyright-protected work is created, even if paint remains on the paper. However, if a painter deliberately swings the brush in a certain way, a protected painting can be created. If AI is used in a comparable way a copyright-protected work can indeed be created.

They take code snippets and copy and paste them? Or do they create own code based on what they’ve learned by trawling?

Ist that a common thing that LLMs using proprietary code for coding tasks?

Because I don’t think so.

Sorry, those photos are not good enough to sell.

No worries, you’ll get better and shoot some fotos people want to buy and hang on their wall eventually.

I'm sure whether people like summer or winter more is heavily influenced by where they live

Yeah, agreed. And there’s nothing worse then humid and hot. I still prefer a normal continental summer to a normal continental winter though.

Nothing wrong there. Being an adult should have at least some perks, eating ice cream whenever you want is one of them.

My condolences, that sucks!

And yes spring and autumn both are awesome. Nothing better than a clear, crisp autumn day.

I‘d vote for him!

Fuck the Winter!

I don’t mind melting skin and vampiric, malaria bringing insects as long as I can enjoy long summer evenings, cool drinks, the summerwind rustling in trees while laying in their shadows, eating icecream and going for a swim.

All this is monumentally better than the long darkness, scraping ice from your cars windscreen at 06:00 am and seeing nothing but bare trees for months.

Winter is fine for a month or so, then it should be time again for spring.

Make a comment saying „Luigi is good“ or something like that, that should get rid of your Reddit account.
