Hi, First and foremost, thank you for all the hard work on this great set of repositories. While browsing a few of them on GitHub, I noticed some commits attributed to Claude. This raised a couple of questions: How is Claude being used, and how useful has it been? How does this affect the licens…

Not a direct answer to your questions but the use of AI tools (and comments around whether commits by AI will be accepted as PRs into the main Julia repo) was discussed in the ‘State of Julia’ talk at JuliaCon today. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Msm2qHsYZRg - it’s the first talk in the stream…

Right, but I haven’t heard anything about the PRs developed with AI (or entirely by AI tools) pulling into the code of the PR fragments that are protected by incompatible licenses (have I missed it?).

Whether “fragments” are copyrightable material is pretty questionable. This probably isn’t fully worked out legally, but my strong intuition is that for code generated by an LLM, copyright is established by the act of prompting. I don’t see how a post-LLM world could function any other way.

Definitely read the terms of any GenAI model/company you use. Most explicitly assign all rights to you — if applicable. Some even add indemnification from IP infringement for their paid plans.

So it’s pretty public that for about a month now I’ve had 32 processes setup on one of the 64 core 128gb RAM servers to just ssh in, tmux to a window, and tell it to slam on some things non-stop. And it has been really successful!.. with the right definition of success. Let me explain. [image] j…

Thanks for such a detailed reply, very interesting!

For what that’s worth, there are also some generated PRs, or PRs where a model is presumably a contributor, on the JuliaLang/julia repo: Pull requests · JuliaLang/julia · GitHub Pull requests · JuliaLang/julia · GitHub

Thank you for this excellent, detailed description of the value of LLMs & how to use them properly. They can be very useful to do lots of boring, crappy stuff you don’t really want to do and by avoiding you accumulate technical debt. Sure you have to review everything they do but it’s still saves 8…

Some would say they stole their training material in the first place, which makes it a bit ironic to then give away the rights
