Glad to be part of the crew with shitty code in Github to taint them plagiarism machines!

Woo! My crappy code and group projects are in there too!

May all AI generated code be in one giant main loop thanks to my influence 😈

Literally all LLMs are affected by GIGO. This is why everything it outputs sounds like a redditor.

you joke but someone has actually traced to one of my commits a specific behavior that people on the internet have been complaining from LLMs recently.

Eh, I don’t think it’s hypocritical to contribute to a commons and then get mad when someone comes along and tries to use the commons to undermine the commons.

Like yes, the commons is there to be used… but not to kill the commons.

Nah if you're a massive AI company and you scrape without contribution, you're a huge piece of shit.

It's just stealing plain and simple like anything else.

They're not a small user getting open source software, they're scraping what is already done to try and make you obsolete.

On the other hand, totally did not see this particular shit coming. I wonder if we'll see a rash of "permissive, except LLMs can fuck right off" licenses.

There are permissive licenses, and then there are copyleft licenses. Permissive licenses go in the direction of "do whatever the fuck you want". Copyleft licenses are more like "use it for whatever the fuck you want but if you change it give it back to everyone else with the same conditions". The people who have projects with copyleft licenses are the ones who are (rightfully) pissed about their projects being used to train AI.

True, I understand why this is better than all those companies scraping it individually (for both ability to opt out and site load), but the way they handled opt out is still quite silly.

no, officer, you misunderstand! I'm not pirating this movie, I'm just training my intelligence on it! it is transformative use, see, I can now write you this summary!

So they scrapped stuff that wasn't permissive? Interesting... though not really surprising.

AI will poison itself trust, like when it links AI made articles.

Those are obviously scraped as well?

I'm doing my part by already writing shitty code.

Why go from corporate to corporate platform? Codeberg exists.

Still learning git but apparently there's some "power features", and, aside from that, it's the same BS network effect that keeps everyone on all the abusive platforms.

Discoverability, it's where all the other people already stashed their code, sunk cost, etc...

Siiiigh...

Afaik on github you get quite powerful runners for free

Kind of shows how you can't present ~~LLMs~~ harvesting peoples data without consent or even warning and making it difficult to impossible for people to avoid it in a positive angle no matter what.

Fixed it for you.

An LLM built from only consensually provided data would be perfectly fine, as long as it works without environmentally ruinous data centers.

In fact, that was how EVERY LLM was to begin with, until regulatory capture and corporate impunity reached the current crescendo.

You can host copyleft as well as all rights reserved code on GitHub. It's not like Codeberg.
