There is simply no way that is true. First, the legal arguments are dodgy: There is a good chance that LLMs are sufficiently transformative that courts will decide they don’t infringe the copyright of their sources. Even if not, hosts will get DMCA-style safe harbour protection and the most they’ll be liable for is takedown requests, which is a major thing for any large host. Second, there is no fucking way a western court is going to tell every big tech company they have to delete 99% of the code that was written since the start of the year, even if the law as written literally said verbatim, “use of any LLM output for any purpose is breach of copyright” because it doesn’t take a conspiracy theorist to realise that it’s politically impossible. You may not like that, but it means that, again, Codeberg is doing this based on feels.

@FishFace@piefed.social Nothing is "politically impossible," and AI is not inevitable. When rich people get out of hand, there is always the same correction that takes place, sooner or later. Right up until the very moment it happens, people with varying degrees of comfort in the existing regime are squawking that the world will end if we mess with the Load-Bearing Pedophiles. They have less chance of making their tyranny permanent this time than at any previous time it has been tried. Prepare your mind for the idea that you and everyone you know might have to personally pick up a shovel and dig, before the mess they are making right now gets cleaned up. @poVoq@slrpnk.net

Well I left github because of “feels”, reddit too. I think slop-code & crypto can go there if they want, what are your “feelings” about that?
