CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@geerlingguy a silly question I sometimes ask Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols, thinking of moving to the land of the free or as some call it Canada?

@sjvn darn where can you buy this firewall cable?

@gamingonlinux so in worst case everyone can look really different the next time you play?

@gamingonlinux sure LLMs can write code, but it's not better than the source used and the issue is that nowadays there is already a lot of code that has been generated by even older versions of LLMs, which will affect newer LLMs.

Sure I do see use of the LLMs like for figuring out the variables needed to use with a function, give some idea how to do somethings so you don't have to spend a half day to figure it out from some LLM generated source...

But let it really code, nah... we really need to get a working AI first before that will be innovative and able to think of consequences of the code

and sure the issue with license too, the code the LLM has been trained with will have a large range of different licenses, the code it borrows may have a lot different license than what the program you write has, and if there is some closed source included then wow...

@sjvn only 15 monitors?

@arstechnica had he trained a new LLM without any LGPL/GPL code, then maybe...
