    I don’t really see it as a divergence from the topic, since it’s the other side of a developer not being responsible for the code the LLM produces, like you were saying.
    In any case, it’s not like conversations can’t drift to adjacent topics.

    Besides, closed-source code developers could’ve been stealing open-source code all along. They don’t really need AI to do that.

    Yes, but that’s the point of laundering something. Before if you put foss code in your commercial product a human could be deposed in the lawsuit and make it public and then there’s consequences. Now you can openly do so and point at the LLM.

    People don’t launder money so they can spend it, they launder money so they can spend it openly.

    Regardless, it wasn’t even my comment, I just understood what they were saying and I’ve already replied way out of proportion to how invested I am in the topic.

      Conversations can drift to adjacent topics, yeah, but it’s not a “gotcha” when someone suddenly changes the topic to the inverse of what was being said, and then acts like they’re arguing against you because the thing that you said about the original topic doesn’t add up with the new topic.

      If you change the topic, you need to at least give the other person an opportunity to respond to your new topic, not just assume that their same argument applies.

        Alright. I didn’t see any gotchas or argument, and didn’t make the comment.

        That being said, reading the context I assume you’re referring to, it hardly reads like anything more than talking about the implication of the idea you shared.
        Disagreeing because applying the argument consistently results in an undesirable outcome isn’t objectionable.
