Codeberg bans vibe coded projects (news.ycombinator.com)

Codeberg seems to ban vibecoded Projects; reason might be german copyright law

>It looks like Codeberg want only copyrighted material in their service, so it is reliable in the future that e.g. licenses must be followed (e.g. GPL), and copyright doesn't suddenly get declared as being of the model owner, and it isn't a copy of something else.
That is a cautious reasonable position - in early days of LLM coding (3 years ago!) indemnity from model companies was a major issue globally because of the lack of clarity of the law around this. The US specifically has settled on it being (effectively?) public domain. But I don't think that is fully settled, and it certainly isn't settled in international copyright law.
The goal of the vague "mostly" in the Codeberg change is to ensure there is enough human input to the code they host, to be reasonably sure under German copyright law it is copyright of the person sharing it.

and never think much about it

Actually a lot of people do think about it. Which is what I'm really advocating for here. I don't expect or demand AI to go away. What I see as the problem is the same as the root problem elsewhere: all or nothing thinking. Either AI is good or it's bad. I want there to be a world where we don't run full speed with AI, dismissing valid point from detractors. In a world where 98% of people are not thinking about the dangers of AI, I'm glad 2% are, even if sometimes they come off like zealots...

I would tend to agree.
