Who is going to write that software if there is no reward.
 help



To make sure that AI never uses your work (source code or binaries) for training, I see two possible solutions:

- the software would run only on your own server and clients will access it remotely through an interface

- you will sell the software together with the hardware and a proprietary operating system, which does not allow anyone to get the ones and zeros of your software

So, the only way to prevent GTA6 being "decompiled" and "forked" by AI models is to run it remotely (with a video interface), or sell it together with a proprietary console :D


most oss is written with the expectation of no financial reward. there is more to life than money.

not to mention there are alternative revenue sources anyways.


>most oss is written with the expectation of no financial reward.

Most open source software is written by corporations which have a complimentary motive. Think hardware manufacturers writing drivers because it makes their products more saleable or Google writing Go because they needed a systems programming language.
