Trinity and Fat Man were plutonium bombs, they needed to be implosion designs because it was realized that a gun wouldn't work using plutonium [1].

I think that some of the arguments in the Apple vs OpenAI case may lead to a ruling on whether copyright gets stripped or not by running something through an LLM.

If it is established that copyright is retained then someone else could follow up on the GPL aspects.

... or commercial software vendors would roll back a couple of years in their VCS and start again from that point.

The reason for NetBSD rejecting any use of AI is the concern that a future legal case will rule that the output of LLMs trained on GPL code is itself subject to the GPL due to the viral clause in the licence.

As a NetBSD developer, I wouldn't claim that it works on everything.

NetBSD retains the old ABI as well if anything changes to a syscall.

Your "light mode" button doesn't work.

I thought that the gas was being flared off anyway, feeding it into a turbine at least makes some use of it.
