#52It could be useful to have repositories that are comprised of only "AI"-generated code and repositories that are comprised of only non-"AI"-generated code
If this happens, one could imagine that the former will seek to use the code from the later for "training AI"
The later might charge the former a license fee
Re: Proposal to prohibit vibe coded projects from being hosted on Sourcehut
#53What is considered vibe coded and slop? Where is the line? Drew draws the line of any introduction of AI in any OSS project. (1.) (2.) Vim, Linux, OpenBSD have AI in them now, even a small tinge of it, so that would be considered slop. Is it now with some effort with AI assistance that is acceptable or unacceptable or is it still slop? Or is it more extreme that an OSS project should absolutely not have ANY AI at all…
I like codeberg approach. If you're a small project that doesn't spam ( a commit a day, a few PR a day) you can be as vibe-coded as you want despite their 'guidelines'.
Re: Proposal to prohibit vibe coded projects from being hosted on Sourcehut
#54When I wanted to get experience with vibe-coding, and build a gen-AI portfolio, among the decisions about what to use it for and how to do it, I very consciously chose the most AI-enthusiastic, popular Git repository service, which is GitHub. I was a little surprised that some people were outraged that Codeberg (strong ideology/principles) banned generative AI output. Now that Sourcehut (craft-oriented?) is consideri…
It's laughable to me, imagine a company saying that they would only host projects that were written in assembly. I mean, "sure" you do you, but I will not be doing business there. These kinds of ideological purity tests and the weird bureaucracies and little fiefdoms associated with them are anathema the hacker ethos.
I mean, I get it; they've got a dying business model, and unless you're paying per commit, you're not a customer, you're a cost center.

Probably they go by volume... You make 10 commits over the weekend once a month for your fun side project, they won't police it (my assumption they can't and won't). Your slop machines are running day and night, pushing hundreds of commits a day, day and night... You will get on their radar, take a look, then determine "yeah, this person can go somewhere else" .

Exactly; being replaced is inevitable, the machines are going to end up more intelligent than us. At some point in the near to moderate future, selling the output of your brain is no longer going to be economically viable. I hope we'll figure out some equitable society before that, but I'm not going to bet on it, so I'll do what I can to be on the side of the winners.

I was a bit turned off by Drew's constant talk about "real humans" while I was in discussion with him. He seems to have certain ideas about how he wants his world to work, and while I don't fault him for that on its own, the way he talks about it and pushes it on others feels very exclusive. He says it's just culture, and that it's my responsibility to figure out how to conform to it. I've never really felt part of h…
I feel the same way. There’s a big chunk of the FOSS community that has dedicated itself to the cultural left “omnicause,” which seems to require full agreement with the consensus as one of its membership criteria. The thing is, even though I agree with many (but not all) of its tenets on paper, I don’t really agree with the methods used or the insistence on full agreement. I also just despise ordinary politicking, a…
> I think the biggest schism I have with these people is over identity. I prefer to have no identity. Anonymous (or pseudonymous), faceless.
Same here. I don't even have just one identity in the first place (thanks to DID), but not a single one identifies as a "real human". I suspect these people have some sort of idea of what constitutes a "real human" to them, and in this case it seems to be making a full canonical identity directly available. I don't do that; my life (and brain) is incredibly compartmentalized and I don't use the body's likeness online, nor do I make my personal email address available to the public, so even if I did identify with humanity I feel like I would probably still not be "real human" enough.

#57This is fantastic. We need more of this. If you want garbage code, GitHub is the place for you.
Re: Proposal to prohibit vibe coded projects from being hosted on Sourcehut
#58Yikes! I've been a software engineer for over a decade, and I've never had more fun in my career. Running an AI assistant on a cloud machine to pair with me, explore my ideas, learn new tricks, and even write code that I would never write due to timelines and deadlines has been fantastic. Using coding agents to search for patterns, understanding why our abstractions might not be working because of how users integrate…
Are you actually retaining that information though? You're not writing the code, the LLM is. You might not even be reviewing it properly.

I think we will, tbh.
But I also think these people saying, “how dare you use AI to write code” for ideological reasons or some variation on that theme are silly.
