I'd hope there could be some distinction between using LLM as a super autocomplete in your IDE, vs giving it high-level guidelines and making it generate substantive code. It's a gray area, sure, but if I made a contribution I'd want to be able to use the labor-saving feature of Copilot, say, without danger of it copying an algorithm from open source code. For example, today I generated a series of case statements and Copilot detected the pattern and saved me tons of typing.

That and also just AI glasses that become an extension of my mind and body, just giving me clues and guidance on everything I do including what's on my screen.

I see those glasses as becoming just a part of me, just like my current dumb glasses are a part of me that enables me to see better, the smart glasses will help me to see AND think better.

My brain was trained on a lot of proprietary code as well, the copyright issues around AI models are pointless western NIMBY thinking and will lead to the downfall of western civilization if they keep pursuing legal what-ifs as an excuse to reject awesome technology.
