This is extremely good news and they should also buy their codebase. There’s a lot of alpha in buying dead people’s WhatsApp chat history and so on

This makes me wonder...do AI companies actually train their public models also on their own code?

Alpha?

alpha is your abnormal rate of return

more colloquially it's your 'edge' over your competitors

Now you can build a failed startup with the help of AI!

Slop in, slop out.

This is closer to failure in, failure out.

yeah but it's my slop!
