If software engineers could read this they would be so upset. Their code stolen off of github and resold through ai is the silliest thing they could have done to themselves.

As always, it's the benefit of a small group being prioritized over the majority.

Most software engineers would not build Copilot. But those that "defected" and build it got compensated very well for it.

I wonder if techies are the "temporarily embarassed billionaires" here?

"No, I didn't build DALL-E 2 or ChatGPT or Copilot, but I totally would have if I had just had a little more time to read the papers, so I'm cheering those who did, even if it goes against my own interests..."
