Copilot is the second biggest contributor lol

If your workflows are deeply integrated with them and you need to pay the actual cost of it overnight it will definitely hurt, especially if the company is big enough. But yeah, theoretically you can make new workflows again and revert all organizational changes, it's just costly and not necessarily easy for everyone involved.

I don't disagree with you, but good luck catching these monsters when the very same monsters run the US. It's hard being optimistic in the short term all things considered.

I could write 1 million recipes and now they are mine and no one can use them if I don't allow?

Isn't that more or less what patent trolls already do?

I hate this so much

Yeah copyright sounds good if the workers keep rights to their work but in practice it's just corporations taking advantage of it and screwing over everyone.

But at least the lefty capitalist artist sold some key chains

Selling your shit and getting paid doesn't make you into a capitalist. At most you're an artisan, if you own your tools and you get paid for your final product rather than your labour hours.

To be a capitalist you necessarily need to own capital. In the example you picked you'd need to own a factory where you underpay people to and keep the surplus from all the keychains they produce.

And regardless of what you meant, you're absolutely barking at the wrong tree here, market consolidation and monopolies predate the internet, and they would have always had the final say in how we shape our infrastructure and share shit online under capitalism.

I'm completely with you there

Linus clearly meant that the tech is useful, and based on his history he probably meant for debugging more than anything else. And he's absolutely right, there have been lots of vulnerabilities found by the thing. He didn't say generated code is great, or that no human review is needed, or how we can adapt to incorporate gen ai in our workflows, etc. He only said it's a useful tool, and that he doesn't care about the ethics behind it (which is dumb, but we shouldn't be surprised, especially if people are trying to push him into a direction, he'll lash out and pick whatever is pragmatic in his view).

As I said, an interface can easily be tested, but if it's internal implementation I normally make a design, implement it, and I usually come up with other ideas and I like having the fluidity of making changes as I prototype and such, that way I'm not constrained by a test yet. After I'm done, and documented my choices if necessary, then I add the tests.

Almost all of my LLM usage is for that as well, I can't wait for it to become more sustainable, but it's definitely useful for that.

Made me laugh out loud, ty
