alt Hacker NewsI don't know, I think it's an overreaction.
> No more sharing my project work as open source. No more open discussion. I don't care how badly I want to show the world; if I'd like somebody to see, I will have it printed in a physical book, or I will give them access to my private repository not reachable via the public Internet.
If you have a project you would have open-sourced, and you don't do that for fear that the LLM god will steal it, what's the point of building it at all? We shouldn't be afraid to share things with other humans just because LLMs will possibly use it as training data. So what if they spam out a copy of it, or a derivative?
If we all stop sharing things with each other in case one of us is a robot, we might aswell just lie down and die

To prove to myself that I can, and to solve problems in a way I enjoy.
I'm not saying I want to go into utter solitude; I just want to be a lot more careful where and how I share my works.
Addendum: I think the idea of private art and code collectives, entirely separate from concerns of LLM consumption, are an interesting idea worth pursuit. Has something like that been pursued before? It's reason enough for me to engage in that.

I’m not afraid of the llm, but also acknowledge that some people _feel_ a fear of theft by soulless robots.
What I do fear is the possibility of megacorp robots being the only ones… local and “dark” technology are essential.
