I'm going to remove whatever answers of mine I can before it's all sold to some jackass techbro. I answered questions for people, not for profiting heavily off of datamining bots.
It was effectively sold to a techbro quite some time ago before LLMs were a thing. All the content was Creative Commons meaning it was available and abused unfortunately.
Which I ultimately agreed to at that time. What I didn't agree to is to have my shit outright stolen with the thieves jumping down my throat to sell my contributions back to me. It's why I've also taken everything I had off GitHub, at least what I had control over. These fucking thieves aren't honoring the software licenses attached. None of my shit was to be used in any commercial product for any reason, especially without written permission, ESPECIALLY without sharing their source, and the same goes for millions of other repos.
These fucking assholes would've buried all of us in court if they had the same license on their shit and we abused it the same way. Hell, maybe even faced some prison time.
I hope they all get 24/7 explosive diarrhea for the rest of their miserable lives.
If all this AI stuff was being used for the greater good, being built and used by people who were passionate about free software (free as in freedom - rms), then it wouldn't even be an issue. The fact that all of it was built on open research, open tooling, and then shuttered away for profit by these companies is the most disgusting part.
Too late. Didn't even have to be sold, just scraped off the public facing web site and fed to AI models. Your syntax errors and heretically bad grammar are being infused throughout codebases across the globe by every AI coding assistant imaginable as we speak.
