Sadly, it seems like Lemmy is going to integrate LLM code going forward: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/6385 If you comment on the issue, please try to make sure it’s a productive and thoughtful comment and not pure hate brigading.

Edit: perhaps I should also mention this one here as a similar discussion: https://github.com/sashiko-dev/sashiko/issues/31 This one concerns the Linux kernel. I hope you’ll forgive me this slight tangent, but more eyes could benefit this one too.

    Problem is, LLM code prediction will likely plagiarize too. Some argue “it’s too short I can’t get sued”, but even if that were universally true (don’t know, IANAL) that still leaves the ethics and morals of seemingly stealing some lines hook and sinker with every punctuation bit and intricancy from GPL code bases, without attribution.

    Some simply think that’s bad for FOSS, notwithstanding other ways LLMs seem to harms FOSS.

    (And oldschool “IntelliSense” is semantics based and doesn’t do that.)
