Were you unaware private businesses were distributing the code completion technology already?

I was sort of aware. I've seen a couple of idiots bragging about 'writing' software using 'AI'...

Do you say 'idiots' because of the danger of the power of software development or AI spreading harmfully?

I say idiots because they think they are programaing when in reality they are using some kind of automated copy-pasta machine that pastes stuff for them. I guess this is a scam similar to Great Inventions like 'visual basic' which allowed any person with at least one eye to Program Anything using his Mouse. You could build, say, a complete OS in 3 seconds by pointing and clicking! Or something. Maybe this new scam is relevant to cypherpunks. Now 'we' can say "computer, program!" and the computer magically creates a program. So, 'we' can say "computer, create software to HACK THE PENTAGON", and the computer will do just that! MAGIC! Professor turd is probably interested in this New Technology because it's obvious that this New Technology will allow anybody with a mouth to HACK THE PENTAGON and overthrow any government.

the one i'm familiar with is Tab Nine: https://www.tabnine.com/

take care, keep coding! :)

TabNine reached out to the one gpl project I opened an issue thread with, ycmd, and related that they were actually using a fork of ycmd for the TabNine product: https://github.com/codota/tabnine-vim ( https://github.com/ycm-core/ycmd/issues/1583#issuecomment-906442124 ) I think another proprietary product is https://www.kite.com/ .
