Why are you repeating yourself

They’re not EU based, but libro.fm is good for DRM-free audiobooks.

Provenance has never been something you can guarantee with code in an open contribution model (which is not the only way of governing an open source project). For all you know the code could be copy and pasted from a proprietary codebase, or be the product of third party who’s work is being plagiarised by the submitter. A software project is ultimately a community and is build on trust and faith that people are acting in good faith. The kind of person who would deliberately (and gleefully as I’ve seen in some social media posts) go into a community and violate its stated values and standards, no matter how arbitrary and illegitimate they feel those are, has bigger character flaws to worry about than their reliance on stochastic parrots to write code.

‘No AI’ rules are ultimately about fostering certain community values and norms than guaranteeing no LLM code makes it in.

AI code bans may be impossible to enforce in the first place

I hate this attitude that if a rule or standard can’t be enforced perfectly, we shouldn’t strive for it. We can’t (reasonably) run an OS free of proprietary software, does that mean the free software movement should just give up?

A new and notable feature is the automated fact-checking tool, a Gemini-based “veracity engine for real-time analysis” (“Vera” for short), which runs on every tweet.

Lol, they added ‘Grok is this true’ to the entire platform, just dead on arrival.

Of course you run NetBSD 🙄.

There’s a WW2 battle in the Pacific in the planes spin off film.

!lemmydrama@lemmy.world probably fits to bill.

Should be now, OP changed it to a link to Google.

BTW, there’s a bug in Lemmy where editing out a URL won’t work over federation, you’ll need to change the URL to something else to remove it.

Seems to be a bug in Piefed’s linkify code for punycode. It’s transforming the the double hypen into an en dash.

It’s relatively cheap (for Google), buys them a lot of good will and gets people contributing to the stack most of Google depends on.

The part that bothers me isn’t the specific ban on LLM projects, or the specific ban on cryptocurrency projects. It’s that a hub built around “free software” is now telling its users which kinds of software are deemed good and which are not, and that is closer to censorship than it might seem. Once a platform writes into its terms that an entire category “harms its reputation” and can be removed on that basis, the deciding factor stops being whether the code is legal, or functional, or useful, and becomes whether it aligns with a position the platform has taken. […] Every platform I can think of that took this approach became divisive the moment it started enforcing an ideology on its users, whatever that ideology happened to be, and however justified it looked at the time.

As acknowledged, Codeberg already doesn’t allow non-free software on it, that is itself pushing an ideology on its users. Extending this stance to other forms of software isn’t the big deal the author is making it out to be, software being free doesn’t absolve it of other moral implications.

We now even have people like Linus Torvalds making the fairly reasonable argument that an LLM is just a tool, and “clearly a useful one”

Appeal to authority. See this response.

How the hell do you make a living off interactive LLM slop (but with a school girl veneer!) and not know about Microsoft’s Tay? This was what was always going to happen.

It’s almost like organisation is what makes minorities harder to oppress, not guns.

Does this logic also apply to human corpses? Like if I go to a morgue…

I wonder why the man who makes money off engine royalties might have a problem with something that can dramatically affect sales after stuffing that engine with the crap people hate.

Did you mean to post this comment 4 times?

The fact it’s secured with a piece of sellotape is just *chef’s kiss*.
