@ErikJonker@mastodon.social @tante@tldr.nettime.org was asking this myself. because i do sometime use AI to check basic error (double ;;, or thing difficult to see but easy to hunt down by an AI) does that make my code illegal on your new rules ?@Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de ?

@skyblitz@mstdn.social @ErikJonker@mastodon.social @tante@tldr.nettime.org @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de for this you want a deterministic, predictable linter or a compiler, not a statistical engine. "ai just for this and just for that" enables all shades of grey, and will water down anti slop stance. especially when it's not best, most beneficial tool for the task. using so-called "ai" to lint has most of social, environmental drawbacks of using it as a SaaS.

@skyblitz@mstdn.social @ErikJonker@mastodon.social @tante@tldr.nettime.org @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/org/pulls/1253/files The entire change was to add: "You must not share projects that mostly consist of code written by "generative AI"-tools (including services such as *Claude*, *OpenAI Codex*). Such projects having an unclear copyright status (see requirements § 2 (1) 1 and § 2 (1) 3) and furthermore have little safeguards to ensure that they do not include harmful code (c.f. § 2 (1) 5)." I think that is pretty clear. You are still allowed to use LLM if you want to as long as your code is not mostly written by one. I find this change quite welcome.
