I agree, except the last sentence about "leftist activists" can be omitted.
I'm grateful for experiments like Copilot and replit's[0] "generate and explain." Maybe there are issues with software licenses and "ai assistants," but the way to surface the issues is with working software. I don't think this is a case of "move fast and break things." It's always been possible to abuse open source licenses without "ai."
There are plenty of alternatives to GitHub if you don't like it. There's no need for the hypercritical tone in this piece.
