@dooms@selfdon.0x7c4.com Codeberg are only naming copyright and security issues, so from that perspective, this is a valid concern. Talking about "humans doing human things", though: one of the most puzzling aspects of " #AI " is how humans can look at the endless list of severe harms done by it, on an increasing scale (environment; communities around data center locations; creatives and arts; scientific publications; you name it) and still say things like "Yeah, but leaving all of this aside … just gimme more of it". While we have been described as "cognitive misers" that will cut corners whenever they can, historically it served the purpose of saving time and effort by trusting in, and maintenance of, experience and knowledge. With both being replaced by "How to get away with producing and consuming mostly bullshit", the mental connection to reality and facts has been severed. One can burn an awful lot of this planet before realizing what one has done. That's why the use of "mostly" is disappointing, despite Codeberg's move being a net positive. @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de

    @penguinrebellion@tldr.nettime.org @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de as for the copyright, I’m restating that this should also be a concern from other sources as well. But honestly, I don’t think it’s up to Codeberg to decide whether a repository is handling the copyright until it is asked to be removed. And I say this truthfully, regardless what I think about LLMs.

    @penguinrebellion@tldr.nettime.org @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de [continuing] On your observation on the harms LLMs cause, I have to say what I think here and I totally agree. However, that’s basically the same behavior we have towards plastic or actions that lead to worsening of climate change. Unfortunately it seems we as human beings can only care about something when we are about to lose it (or just lost it).

    @penguinrebellion@tldr.nettime.org @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de [final] All that said, I would love to understand what can be done to improve overall online quality-of-life, reduce resources impact and, specially, how to live after this awful capitalism phase.
