The fact that the page says that this version was made by "more than [X] contributors" makes me think that maybe they don't have enough contributors?

I'm honestly disappointed that this post got so much attention with such a dubious source. The article doesn't even link to a press release, as far as I can tell.

It surely was the "I'm so cool you don't even know I'm cool" kind of cool.

Wait, are you saying that there is legal precedent for training an LLM with open source code to generate proprietary code?

I suppose if there were backers who would issue loans instead of investing in equity, the workers could form a cooperative. I don't think that would fully eliminate the risk of them getting fired (by each other), but perhaps it would be a start?

Interesting! If you don't mind me asking, what country are you in? I'm asking because I'm an American and I don't think I've ever heard of this.

Is there any particular reason why GNUstep is getting so much attention today, or are people just posting all these things in response to each other?

If Lemmy's voting system is incompatible with Mastodon & Pleroma, then does that also mean that reshares and Favorites from Mastodon or Pleroma won't count as upvotes in Lemmy?

Okay, has it started to train on horror anime? (Don't you worry, it's safe for work.)

I'm not sure what the NCMEC partnership is about either. I'm just going to apply to the Spotlight position.
