    Sure, Microsoft is happy to let their AIs scan everyone else’s code., but is anyone aware of any software houses letting AIs scan their in-house code?

    Any lawyer worth their salt won’t let AIs anywhere near their company’s proprietary code intil they are positive that AI isn’t going to be blabbing the code out to every one of their competitors.

    But of course, IANAL.

      The LLMs they train on their code will only be accessible internally. They won’t leak their own intellectual property.

        Will that not be more experiensive than having developers?

          Of course not. It will be more expensive and they’ll still have to pay developers to figure out what’s wrong with their AI code.

          Depends on the use case. Training local llms is a lot cheaper after Galore and there are ways to get useful local models with only a moderate amount of effort, see e.g. augmentoolkit.

          This may or may not be practical in many use cases.

          24 months is pretty generous but no doubt there will be significantly less demand for junior developers in the near future.

          Possibly. It’s hard to know without seeing the numbers and assessing output quality and volume.

          Also it’s not unheard of that some bigwig wastes millions of company €€ for some project they fancy. (Billions if they happen to be Elon)

        If only we had an overarching structure that everyone in society has agreed exists for the purposes of enforcing laws and regulating things. Something that governs people living in a region… Maybe then they could be compelled to show exactly what they’re using, and what those models are being trained with.

        Oh well.
