@codeinabox My goal in saying “writing code is not the hard part” is to assure people that using a limited visual scripting alternative or “no-code” tool is not the magic bullet they think it is and in fact it will hold them back more than anything. It’s not a statement of “it’s not impressive to do this well” it’s one of “do not be so afraid of this skill, because it’s not as unapproachable as you think it is.”
@codeinabox The problem with AI being trained on our code is not because the code has inherent value. In most cases, the code *is* being distributed for free, after all.
The *problem* is that it’s a violation of licenses - an expression of an author’s desire for how their work is used. If an author’s work is an extension of themselves, then violating a license is a violation of their autonomy.
the problem is that licenses were always a scam, IP is nonsense. the problem is corporations tricked us into thinking it was real so they could make more money – and now they can make more money by dispelling the myth.
