You can turn off your phone at least sometimes. :) But this of course does not solve the problem.

There is no need to ask GPT for a ready-to-use code, it does not work well for it. But it explains someone else’s complex code much better. Students need to ask it for short hints in places where it is not clear specifically or very small parts of the code, then it brings good benefits.

I use postmarketos with phosh. It’s kind of viable, but it has some infrequent bugs. For example sometimes, quite rarely, the call menu may freeze after the call and not respond to touches until the reboot. The camera doesn’t work at all. But there are positive aspects, an ordinary Linux terminal and the usual convenient console programs. :)

It has sufficient list of programs: browsers (I use firefox), ebook readers, fractal (matrix), telegram, maps, that works good enough on mobile at least for my daily use.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLfFWXUNJ_I It’s more of one playlist than a channel about quantum mechanics on Russian, but as I see it has English subtitles. A fairly clear explanation with a small amount of simple mathematics, probably the minimum that is possible. It helps to understand at least a little such a complex and illogical science for the average layman.

But what will stop them from train copilot on code from other publicly available hostings. Are there any restrictions why they won’t be able to do it using something like the principles of fair use as an excuse in this case?

That’s a good idea. Now I have to think about how to formulate it better and what it will mean. :)

Yes I understand It’s complex question. In principle, I support the freedoms declared in the GPL. But the GPL license itself restricts the use of code in closed source proprietary programs for the sake of the freedom of all future users. And the question arises, isn’t the whole point of this nullified if you can train an “AI” model on this code, and then use the output from the “AI” of the same code in closed sourced proprietary programs? I wouldn’t mind if these “AI” were the same kind of free and open source software, but even then you can use their output to create your own closed source proprietary programs… Maybe you are right, it is not entirely clear what is better in this case.

Thank you very much for your reply. I support your opinion in a way that I am already inclined that a complete prohibition on the training of “AI” models on the source code of software is not a very good solution and is difficult to limit according to current laws. I hope somtimes someone smart will come up with some approaches to such problems.

If you are going to protect something, then you should not spend more on protection than the protected property is worth… It’s always about balance. :)
