AI for me but not for thee.

I would laugh for a week if the courts eventually found issues with using LLM content and forced companies to either publish their LLM generated code as public domain or they were forced to roll back their codebases to a pre-LLM state.

Probably won’t happen but clearly Oracle sees a potential for legal issues with LLM output.

Thing is public domain can be used any way you want. The Libre style licenses are specifically engineered to make the source available to the users of the source, no such clause exists in using public domain.

So Java, which powers a sizeable chunk of the real-world since two decades now, without needing the help of LLMish sloppy-pasta, is going to continue to power the Real World [TM] with its language and JVM that have been created with tens of millions of human man-hours without LLMish sloppy-pasta?

I'm shocked.

I'm not only shocked: I also see there a delicious irony in the countless of LLMish sloppy-pasta code that's now running and going to be run on man-made JVMs.

Closer to three decades than two.

Don’t worry, I think most LLMs, when starting a greenfield codebase, don’t reach for Java, so it may be a smaller amount of code affected than you feared.

If you asked the LLM to create an Android app it probably would.

Interesting idea, so I had to check!

Prompt: “Top language pick for an Android app? Respond with only the language.”

Responses (admittedly via the aichat CLI, not an agent harness; and temp=0):

Kimi K3: Kotlin

GPT 5.6 Sol: Kotlin

Claude Fable 5: Kotlin

DeepSeek v4 Flash 0731: Kotlin

Are there any other “inherently” heavily JVM-biased domains?

I think even in Minecraft game mods Kotlin is possible nowadays…

Kotlin my dude, unless you hate yourself.

How would they even be able to tell the difference?

How do you even enforce such policy?

So they will not be accepting most security patches. Fun.
