Its not going away. And what one can and cannot do with these tools will evolve I dont think i understand the thought process behind this policy. Licenses need to be complied to, code needs to be of good quality. If a tool can help with that, you use it, if not you dont. If you dont know, you try. I think we should ensure that (static copies) of our bug tracker, mailing list archieve and git repository are accessible to these tools. Otherwise we will see more * ddos by the tools trying to bypass restrictions [you know, the developer saying "search this", the tool replying with "its behind anubis", the developer asking "what can i do?" teh tool producing a script that ddos us becuase "bypassing restrictions" directs teh LLM to mallicious scripts, thats just the context in which "bypassing restrictions" occurs] * code generators incorporating code from outside that is incompatibly licensed If a code generator can see all our code it should preferably use it if it can see none of it, it will use forums and random bits of code off the internet. Not all of which is LGPL compatible so again, IMHO if you are afraid of license issues the very first thing to do is ensure our code and coding docs are accessible to the tools generating code * generally tools being less usefull as they have less ffmpeg specific context thx [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB Whats the most studid thing your enemy could do ?
