A discussion on the ethics of publishing AI-accelerated versions of other people's code. One participant asks whether it's fine to optimize someone's code and push it back to their repo for a merge. The reply notes that handling programs and methods written by others is one of the biggest challenges in this effort, and states two things clearly: taking someone else's code, speeding it up, and simply releasing it yourself is bad behavior that should be shunned.
