But I don't care if closed source programmers read my GPL code! The freedom to learn is not copyleft. So long as they put independent effort into their work, they're good in my book. Shared knowledge is a vital commons, and I'm honored if I can contribute to it.

Maybe this goes back to that debunked paper that claimed that transformers were only remixing input samples?

They aren't reading your code. This is a program copy/pasting code without attribution.

Again, the paper that said that transformers only copypasted input samples was highly misleading.

It seems clear to me that Codex has true understanding.

(Yes, I know that people have gotten secrets to appear in the output by prompting it in clever ways. That this happens doesn't prove that Codex doesn't understand what it's doing, it just shows that Codex doesn't understand everything.)
