This one has different methodologies and philosophies that try to mitigate some of the ethical issues with other similar #GenerativeAI programming systems.
Hugging Face and ServiceNow Research release StarCoder, a free alternative to code-generating #AI like GitHub's #Copilot, as part of the #BigCode project.

Microsoft's Github Copilot is disregarding Free Software licenses and will be happily selling parts of your GPL code against your will! Woo!

As the author of this article says - free software should be dependant on free software architecture - I recommend codeberg.org as an open-source alternative to Github.
Sadly Github is no longer a platform that can be trusted.

github copilot is incredible. it just sells code other people wrote, but because it's an "AI" it is apparently allowed to launder that code without it being a "derivative work". lol. lmao. what an amazing grift.
Lots of understandable concern today as #Microsoft #GitHub announced their new #Copilot availability today. Probably worth a reminder that @conservancy has convened a working group on #ethics, #licensing, and other related issues, especially for #FreeSoftware and #OpenSource contributors.
Perhaps you or others may want to join or read more?
Boosts welcome!
