i mean, it's better than literally nothing, right?
i'd like it if developers had access to a tool that makes it impossible for AI to decompile our programs, or if any government ever made legislation about AI so we could sue when someone else uses Ai to copy our IP, or if it was at all feasible for the average indie gamedev to afford a lawyer.
but none of that is the case right now, so all that indie devs can hope for at the moment is that the creators of other models follow Antrhopic's lead here, or that they get sued into doing something like this.
note: i'm biased since i got my degree in gamedev earlier this year, and i personally dislike AI. i hope my perspective is still useful, though.
and if there's a better solution, i'd genuinely like to hear it
I think it's worse than nothing because it won't stop unscrupulous users, but will hit legitimate developers.
Bias: senior dev, agree with Linus Torvalds on LLM use.
I don't think copyright is a coherent idea, and we're watching it reach its inevitable conclusion now. It would be better if we relied on government funding and/or crowdfunding.
