@arclight many years later I discovered the rest of Prof. Leveson’s work and I won’t say that I made it my whole personality but it’s a lot of it

So I'm having a "This is why we still use Fortran" moment today.@arclight this was one of the first papers we read in my systems engineering course in college and it was very formative for me

If you ask AI to rewrite the entirety of an open-source program, do you still need to abide by the original license?@lcamtuf There are a number of tools online which purport to strip the copyright from images by running them through an image model, and they're just as obviously bullshit

And the spec would need to carefully elide certain details which would get it classed as a derivative work itself—much harder for an LLM to do than a team of humans

Yeah the license applies whether you accept it or not. And whether your spec counts as a derivative work or not will depend greatly on the details of your spec

"what if we first wrote a robust specification and constrained the bots to deriving code that conformed to the spec?"@sarahjamielewis every time somebody tells me that the silver lining of LLMs is that they force devs to actually write documentation I just laugh and laugh
