Don’t you just love hyperbole? I do, especially when it is true. GitHub were one of the first to use open source data to train a commercial AI, and it is one of the first to be subject to copyright infringement litigation from software engineers who claim ‘their code’ is being used without permission for commercial purpose. Even though the engineers are right and GitHub needs to find a way to share the value, I agree with the premise and
hope they lose. Love to hear your thoughts on this - who owns the data, who captures the value - maybe one to talk about in Brainfood Chat (
