I don't know yet what I think, but my latest side project I decided to create privately on github.

#2> privately on github
So Microsoft and their AI will have access to your code but people won't.

I'm not a prolific open source contributor anyways, but i'm wondering if the tides are changing in regards to open source.
I can imaging that many people in the open source community - even if they're giving away their code for free under the most permissive licenses, still somewhere enjoy the fact that people know they're looking at their code on github or wherever it may be hosted. But now that slowly people shifting to only looking at code via LLM chat apps, then they might want to contirbute less to open source... just wondering... ?

#5Aaahahah people tend to forget that GPL exists. If they use your software to build another, then you can sue and make all their software opensource. Also, you dont have to use github where your source is easily pray of LLM. You can host your own.

#8Personally, I would select only training material for open models. Pandora's box is already open, but if we are going to have LLMs, I want them to be available to everyone and not gated by a small number of companies. Since open models generally have less of a benefit of scale in terms of GPUs, I want them to have the benefit of more available/higher quality training data.

#9As mentioned in the comment, private on GH has no bearing, it is still in full sight of the AI.
From what I can tell, OSS submissions are on the rise as people embrace AI to work on things they could not previously.

#10Are people open sourcing their works in hopes to make money and that's their concern? I've never heard of that from people involved in open source.
