Laws are only as good as their enforcement, in business at least. Unfortunately I have seen first hand that no one cares about licensing if they can’t get caught.

Businesses licenses are good because you can offer support and other benefits to encourage payment.

Feel like we are trying to put the author in a bad (racist or classists?) light so we do not have to address the real issues touched on by the article.

It’s fine at replacing what stack overflow did nearly a decade ago, but that isn’t really an improvement from my baseline.

I think this is mostly for show to stay relevant wrt. What is happening in the courts. This is the Same play as it always been for registration “are you over the age of 13?”

That’s a stretch. Sure many business _use_ OpenAI, but that does not an operational necessity. Especially given the competition.

There are many people who code to make cool stuff and enjoy sharing, but there is even more people who code to look good on CV.

I’m not trying to be mean, this is just an anecdote I had from my time hiring.

For example if I tell my bot to clone me 100x times on all my platforms, all with different facts or attributes, suddenly the real me becomes a lot harder to select. Or any attribute of mine at all becomes harder to corroborate.

I hate to use this reference, but like the citadel from Rick and Morty.

Money is probably going circular, it’s not real.

Edit: Just looked into timeline, it does not add up.

I think it’s a bot, look at the post history with the weird repetitive hyphens.
