alt Hacker NewsThe Fortune 10 company that I spent decades at and retired from just a couple years ago noticed this issue immediately and issued a blanket ban on the use of these tools for the company’s own code that to my knowledge has not been rescinded. (They also started developing their own coding-specific LLM, training solely on code they owned, around the same time.)
You might consider that there is a very large incentive by the large and public players in this market to promote the idea that this is not true, that they consider themselves large and powerful enough to actually flout the law, and that they plan to use the argument that enforcement will be too damaging to the economy to make their view the “new normal.”
This playbook has been run before, by Uber and Lyft, by AirBnB, by Tesla with “FSD,” and so on. It’s very clearly the approach being taken.

Well, I've personally worked at 3 of the fortune 10s (two from pre llm mania days) and I know for a fact that they're full tilt, from keeping up with old colleagues, plus where I'm at currently.
I just looked at the list and I have friends that work at most with the exception of United, mkesson, Berkshire and cencora, so either you were at one of those or you're misinformed about your ex employer.
The entire industry for the most part is all in here.
We clearly disagree at an ideological level, for which I will not try to convince you my side is correct.
Instead, I would probably be willing to bet overall maybe 10k USD that your stance is generally not representative of where we end up in 5 years.
Let's make a Polymarket and compete with dollars instead of words (slightly in jest)
They’re using Claude lmao
