You’d send me a contributor agreement, after I’ve contributed, to retroactively ask if I used a LLM to write the code, and if I refused you’d then sue me for nebulous ill-defined damages and for breaching a non-existent contract?
So in your head, I could contribute a change that introduces a bug and as a result you could sue me for the time it took you to fix it?
…
Are you OK?
I was hoping for something with a “I’m a big strong serious tough guy” vibe but that’s a bit much. However I guess you can file a civil case for practically anything in some countries, and if you’re retired/unemployed maybe writing this kind of internet police fan-fiction is considered fun?
Do another one, this time where it’s not thrown out as a clearly frivolous suit with no legal basis.
You broke the site guidelines repeatedly in this thread, including by crossing into all sorts of personal attacks. I realize that you were provoked, but you were also provoking.
We've actually been asking you not to do this for years. This is bad:
