I do wonder how far they would get with the phantom limb stuff. We know phantom limb stuff is encoded before birth so would alpha waves adjust something so fundamential?

Read up clean room design and on the IBM bios lawsuits from the 80's and 90's just seeing proprietary code can be a violation

Why is it different if we slap a "ml" lable on it

Read up on clean room design and the IBM lawsuits from the 80's and 90's

Just seeing someone else's code is hazardous from a legal precident point of view

I spend 95% of my day reading existing code not writing it, I have no idea what these developers writing code all day work on

Counterpoint look at the bios lawsuits that IBM won against people who had just seen IBM's code

Or the windows xp leak and how that is a mess for wine/proton/reactos devs

There is no concept of fair use in code copyright

Copilot is 100% a ask for forgiveness later sort of project

There are many instances of people not even being able to see the code in question, see clean room engineering

An example for wine/proton/reactos developers from a moderator on the forum about the leaked windows xp code:

"You look at the code? You worked for MS? No dev for us! It's that easy."

There are many instances of large lawsuits where just seeing the old code made you in eligible to even touch the new code

Both on a moral and practical sense copilot is a licensing nightmare

Seeing the 10 dollar price tag has convinced me that you are right. This is a ploy to make a service that replaces developers not help them.

No way Microsoft made this investment for a measly 10 dollar subscription. There are not that many developers
