Whether this was a joke or a backtracking, or this dared waste your oh so precious time- You're missing the forest for the trees. There's extreme covert and even overt hostility between how people stand on AI's gluttonous usage of the commons.

We're about to waltz into a deep period of tension between developers, and people who, empowered by multimillion dollars corporations, bravely violate developers' copyrights in the hopes of replacing their jobs, while bullying these same developers who dare express their discontent.

This is not gonna end well.

Developers never had "intellectual property". Under capitalism, only billion-dollar corporations do. So the problem with AI isn't that it violated some license. The real problems are that people are losing jobs, that the Internet and our community gets clogged up with more low-effort slop competing for our attention than ever before, and that the products we are all forced to use are becoming worse because corporations are trying to shove AI-features into them and put quotas on engineers to vibe-code as much as possible. There are definitely others. "Copyright" is not even scratching the surface of real problems with LLMs, and many of the people leading the charge in pointing out the evil and hypocrisy of AI companies are themselves copyright abolitionists.
