🎉 Big tech scores a win in the courtroom! A billion-dollar lawsuit against GitHub, OpenAI, and Microsoft over the alleged unauthorized use of intellectual property to train the "GitHub Copilot" AI coding software has been partially dismissed. The complainants claimed OpenAI "scraped" GitHub and used human-created coding snippets without permission. However, the judge ruled they "failed to show their code was reproduced identically." This could be a game-changer for the AI industry, potentially freeing up companies to push the boundaries of AI-generated coding. So, coders, keep your snippets close and your AI closer! 😉
