MODERATORS
They are free to do what they want to on their repo.
We are free to fork if need arises.
Personally I don't like projects not showing what AI has made. And most of Claude was made on stolen code. Its against the open source license they themselves use https://github.com/lutris/lutris/blob/master/LICENSE
But almost no one actually enforces the license until the big companies show up. I hope they change their minds, but until then, im going to stop using/contributing for a while.
Does anyone know which was the last version before the dev started shoveling slop in to the repo? The utter dipshit invalidated even the ability to license after that point, those releases are wholly worthless.
in 5 years from now there’s going to be totally coevolved but unique seed-lines for software. the once with AI, and the once without. how can you distinguish them? did the human that said it wrote them really write them? these problems aside, i suspect it will be forced to happen just from a security viewpoint, big companies won’t be able to get any kind of insurance anymore running AI-infested code.
It's like non-radioactive steel that has to be recovered from sunken warships
That last bit needs to hit sooner.
it's more nuanced than that. Claude is made from stolen code, but it generally isn't going to copy its training data verbatim (unless specifically told to). so copyright wise it's more grey than strictly wrong. and though claude is made from stolen code, lutris developers are writing something they give off freely to the world, they are not profiting from the stolen code.
does this make it ok? i don't know. what if they use an open weights model rather than a closed one? would that be more acceptable?
No, open weights changes nothing. Using stolen material is. Especially for a GPL project, a licence normally used to scare off corporate vultures. Why should anyone respect lutris' licence, when they gave up on the authorship of their own product?
Fork it and call it Ludique, meaning fun in French.
...and how do you ensure your fork does not contain a single commit involving even a single line written by Claude? If you can't, then isn't your fork slop by default?
Sure, it learned to code by reading lots of code, most of it just publicly available online for anyone to read and for anyone to learn from but not explicitly licensed for a machine to read it and learn from it. I doubt it's possible to teach an ML system (or for that matter a human being) how to code without reading lots of example code. And any code you've ever read has an impact on any code you write afterward (same as any other creative endeavor), that's why clean room design as a defense against copyright infringement is a thing that exists.
