You are misinterpreting what deleting itself as if the authoritial authority over the IP implies ownership but it's not so. It's executing unwanted code to delete files on the end users computer. It matters not a whit who owns the copyright.

Legally speaking, he already said, fuck this shit, sue me then. > "executing unwanted code to delete files on the end users computer" As the author put it: "It's as much "active destruction" as telling someone to eff themselves." Morally speaking, people who sling slop created from things taken without consent at humans who don't want slop can complain about a social contract they already cancelled unilaterally all t…

Notably it's not clear that actual open source can even be open source whilst trying to control what local tools devs use to work with it. You certainly can't do that if your software depends on actual GPL or the like.

You cannot nullify the social contract by quantifying what you imagine it ought to be and justifying any sort of misbehavior that you wish to engage in.

> it need not follow arbitrary instructions That's where you're wrong. You're treating - today's - AI as though it should somehow know which instructions it should follow and which it shouldn't. Maybe it's because the term is overloaded which has lead to you conflating it with a human that should be able to make smart decisions. If you enter "5*3=" into a calculator, do you expect it to ever respond with anything oth…

you choosing to throw a log file into eval() without reading it does not make the log file malware. you are the one executing the log file. this is a smart decision that you chose to make. executing a thing not intended to be executable is just a bad decision on your part

That could have been a valid argument 5+ years ago, but won't fly today. It is a known that AI that are used for coding necessarily read log files. It is also a known that some AI are susceptible to prompt injection. Given that knowledge, and the very clear intent to utilize said knowledge to cause undesirable behavior on a user's computer when certain conditions are met, we're now undoubtedly in malicious territory. It's akin to someone making it clear that they don't like kids and don't want to see any in their favorite park, then taking the extra, deliberate step of placing a disguised loaded gun by the swings where a child could easily find it.
