I understand the sentiment, if you don’t like AI code generation you’re probably thinking you’re on the same side. But what happens if this person finds something else they hate that you don’t hate, and finds a way to sabotage that? They’ve already demonstrated a willingness to be destructive. And you’re running their code so they don’t need anything even remotely as dumb as some AI agents to exploit, they can just write destructive code normally.
You can decide if you want to use it or not, at your own risk. It's free software, written by people in their free time, they owe you nothing.
Sure, you have that right.
And companies will exercise that right by blanket blacklisting everything related to you which can have huge sweeping impacts on your career lol
Its a super super stupid move to make. You are free to do a lotta other shit that tanks your career too lol
That's their business, not mine, not yours.
Is it merely hating AI code generation or is it "AI code generation is in practice anti-FOSS" (unless there's an ethical AI out there, trained exclusively on public domain code, that I don't know about)?
