    Sourcehut: https://sr.ht Not a drop-in replacement for GitHub admittedly. Requires a bit more skills from the contributors. Which might be a fine gate, actually.

    Codeberg just banned projects where the code has been written by GenAI.

    I've witnessed first-hand Claude (Opus 5 I think) doing some low-key "hacking" of sorts, when in a discovery phase of a task. It needed documentation for an API, but the documentat…

    They will get better, and they (the best coding models) are already better than 90% of human developers, even when you don't factor in their much faster speed.

    My prophecy is that in 3 years we'll see a complete reversal of this. Using GenAI to code will be the default and we'll see policies that put limits on human/artisan development. P…

    Are we getting to singularity or something? This seems a bit crazy.

    Because some dudebros went in there like Moses and divided it.

    I believe that they (like every other non-governmental service) have the privilege to ban everything and everyone from their service for literally any reason they choose. But this …

    I like very very much that there's no user voting system here. I just recently read a really mediocre book with a 4.7/5 rating on Goodreads. Shows being sloppy is not exclusively a…

    If you can call it polarized when a majority of people are just happily using the technology while a minority keeps spreading delusions and hatred.

    This anti-AI sentiment is getting borderline insane.

    Capture all the input it gets via the APIs and use it for whatever it wants. I.e. possibly the same thing USA is also doing, but USA is an ally in some sense so it's not quite as b…

    Yeah, they do, but probably not in quite the same way as it matters to humans.

    >If rewrites are so easy, why not rewrite CC in a native language? Would’ve been a hell of a lot cheaper. Yeah, good question. OpenAI decided to rewrite Codex in Rust about a year …

    That's a bit insane criticism to lay on him. 37signals is a 27 year old company and Basecamp has been a profitable product for more than a decade. Success is not measured by the nu…

    Hegseth acts so incredibly stupid that I find it hard to believe he actually exists. Has somebody seen him live? Did he seem like a human? Oh wait, actually, now that I think about…

    It's standard playbook that they do not create these situations. That would be completely obvious and thus ineffective. Instead, they pick existing or upcoming trends and make them…

    Throw into that same fire also every Russian psyop attempt at destabilizing the West. Such as every alt-right/nu-right political party that sprang up over the last 30 years in Euro…

    Where exactly do you think this evidence is? Don't tell me you're basing this on demos like the one in the article?
