Oh, the invisible hand is definitely there. Though, it's just slipping into your back pocket and lifting your wallet.

Corporations that pay employees below subsistence levels are indirectly bailed out by food stamps programs. I wouldn't depend on them for moral anything.

From an organizational standpoint its better because it lets a sysadmin/security person sandbox anything and everything instead of having to become proficient with the tooling for every different language (which may not even exist).

I think the key to being happy as an introvert is not depending on the approval and adoration of others for your accomplishments. If you do, you're going to be bitter and toxic over not getting it when you feel you should.

Just need to reword it a bit, "This Disney character doesn't exist" can also be "This is not a Disney character (because it doesn't exist)". Sums up the assertion being made well too. Not a Disney character. Except their lawyers may disagree.

An interesting exercise would be recreating an entire program/tool that is GPL using copilot and releasing under a less restrictive license. Could one could argue that the effort put into cobbling together a knock-off is enough to constitute an original work?

Running a copyrighted movie through a neural network compression algorithm and uploading it on bittorrent isn't going to stop you from being sued. Even if the output is produced by an AI.
