We do not provide evidence that:

Engadget: Apple hit with class action suit from developers after App Store ruling. “Apple may see further fallout over its failure to comply with a court order that led to last week’s contempt ruling. A class action suit filed on behalf of developers claims that Apple’s actions cost Pure Sweat Basketball (and other developers) revenue during the period it was found to have violated the […]

I don't get all these articles about #softwaredevelopers must now suddenly learn other skills than #coding. The tenor is always #ai will do the coding, and now devs need problem solving skills, learn to communicate clearly and so on.

This feels a lot of what a more seasoned dev and someone just staring out sets apart. You learn to think and talk in a structured, well known way by coding, later you learn to keep the bigger picture in mind. Wonder what happens if we lose this starting out phase.

This isn't Apple's fault, as it still has to follow local laws to sell its products. However, this is a huge #securityfail.

Even though Apple no longer fights for mindshare in the enterprise computing market as it once did, this will force companies that require secure data to either avoid iCloud-enabled apps altogether—which can be hard to do on a Mac—or stop using Macs altogether for anything that processes #PII, #PHI, or even proprietary #sourcecode.

In particular, many #softwaredevelopers prefer #MacBooks since they offer a mainstream user experience but run #Unix under the hood. If they can't use MacBooks anymore for security reasons, companies will have to rethink some of their long-standing laptop and desktop #cybersecurity practices.

🚀 The Future of Open Source in the Tech Industry – Will Companies Share $10 Billion AI Models? 🚀

Open-source technology has revolutionized the software industry, fostering innovation, collaboration, and transparency. But as AI models grow in complexity and cost—sometimes exceeding $10 billion in development—will tech giants continue to embrace open-source principles?

> the #TeaProtocol perversely incentivizes #software #developers to exaggerate their contribution to #openSource #development. Using a modified PageRank called #teaRank, #softwareDevelopers are rewarded based on their “Proof of Contribution”... and a few software developers have spammed #foss #repositories with absurd amounts of worthless #packages.

Phylum · The Great npm Garbage PatchIn April of this year, the Phylum Research Team revealed the proliferation of spam packages in npm associated with the Tea protocol, a decentralized initiative that promises to compensate software developers in cryptocurrency for their open-source contributions. Last month, we published our quarterly research report, which estimated that approximately one

#StackOverflow contributors are not happy about a deal that will provide #OpenAI with access to the vast trove of technical information posted to the popular forum.

Per the new agreement, announced earlier this week, OpenAI will connect to the #OverflowAPI to surface Stack Overflow content in #ChatGPT answers and use the data for #AIModelTraining. #Coding #Programming #ai

'Violated, Exploited': Even #SoftwareDevelopers Are Mad About #AIPlagiarism

#ShortStory idea about #VentureCapital thrown at anything #ArtificialIntelligence

All this #AI BS is centered around one thing: the opening volley of the #ClassWar

See, the #OwnerClass has oppressed #SoftwareDevelopers for decades by putting #IdiotCEOs over the people who actually understand shit.

Now AI is lulling CEOs into being more & more comfortable typing prompts into various LLM UIs.

They'll ask it to help dodge taxes. It'll gather info then rob them blind.
