"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

A free-to-use platform has the right and freedom to define the criteria for its (continued) use. Underneath it all, someone does work on (and pay for) the infrastructure and maintenance, I don't see why they suddenly have 0 say in who they work for just because the enrollment is free.
Every free platform does this.
Otherwise, llmberg.org and coinberg.org are still available as I'm writing this.
If you had read the blog post, you would know that the author is criticising the communication and the methods Codeberg took to combat the harms of slopware, not the general structure or the power that Codeberg holds over its platform.
I actually read the article, and the sense of entitlement becomes pretty annoying towards the end. At least the conclusion is correct, I'll give him that.
But I stand by what I said: Codeberg has every right to kick projects off their platform, and they don't need to give their users a say in it.
I read the blog post and the author seems weirdly defensive about wanting to be a lone Wolf and disagreeing with the specifics of codeberg's decisions on what to disallow, more than anything else.
