Mission failed successfully!

Glad to be part of the crew with shitty code in Github to taint them plagiarism machines!

Woo! My crappy code and group projects are in there too!

May all AI generated code be in one giant main loop thanks to my influence 😈

Literally all LLMs are affected by GIGO. This is why everything it outputs sounds like a redditor.

you joke but someone has actually traced to one of my commits a specific behavior that people on the internet have been complaining from LLMs recently.

Hope some group makes it their mission to start flooding github with garbage code.

For some reason the included only the repo for my github profile that has no code in it and not the other ones, my guess is that they avoided me because of the GPL license on all my code

Oh lord my code is actively helping making AI worse.

I checked out, it has some of my repositories. They crawled this stuff in 2025 and they probably won't update it. Whoever uses this dataset will have to deal with some super garbage, I tell ya.

For me, they only have one of my repos, and I deleted all my repos months ago, so whether they actually have the code or just the title idk

Good news: If anyone wants the one they got, I host it myself here instead. Fuck M$, AI thieves etc.

I mean they can probably steal it from my site too but I've taken precautions, and the second biggest reason to migrate off corpo accounts entirely -- my site is a much smaller hacker target than Github.

Eh, I don’t think it’s hypocritical to contribute to a commons and then get mad when someone comes along and tries to use the commons to undermine the commons.

Like yes, the commons is there to be used… but not to kill the commons.

There are permissive licenses, and then there are copyleft licenses. Permissive licenses go in the direction of "do whatever the fuck you want". Copyleft licenses are more like "use it for whatever the fuck you want but if you change it give it back to everyone else with the same conditions". The people who have projects with copyleft licenses are the ones who are (rightfully) pissed about their projects being used to train AI.

On the other hand, totally did not see this particular shit coming. I wonder if we'll see a rash of "permissive, except LLMs can fuck right off" licenses.

Nah if you're a massive AI company and you scrape without contribution, you're a huge piece of shit.

It's just stealing plain and simple like anything else.

They're not a small user getting open source software, they're scraping what is already done to try and make you obsolete.

"Look, I wrote this neat highly advanced machine vision thing to help people with accessibility needs communicate with loved ones! ❤️. MIT licensed I guess! Let's make the world better!"

Raytheon, Northropp, Boeing, Microsoft, three-letter-agencies suddenly fork it as a base for their own "projects."

😐

Right, I mean I literally published my code openly, so idc lol

AI will poison itself trust, like when it links AI made articles.

no, officer, you misunderstand! I'm not pirating this movie, I'm just training my intelligence on it! it is transformative use, see, I can now write you this summary!

Still learning git but apparently there's some "power features", and, aside from that, it's the same BS network effect that keeps everyone on all the abusive platforms.

Discoverability, it's where all the other people already stashed their code, sunk cost, etc...

Siiiigh...

Network effect / discoverability and free CI time

Job recruiters get scared.

Why go from corporate to corporate platform? Codeberg exists.

We'd have an even bigger RAM shortage if so.

I'm doing my part by already writing shitty code.

True, I understand why this is better than all those companies scraping it individually (for both ability to opt out and site load), but the way they handled opt out is still quite silly.

If they only include repositories that come with a proper open source license technically they don't even need to provide an opt-out option. So, good thing that at least it exists.

EDIT: oops replied to wrong comment

Second that. After all all my open repositories are all either licenced under GPL or MIT, so complaining would be a kind of hypocritical.

Those are obviously scraped as well?

I am personally on SourceHut, but do have a codeberg account.

I’m just realizing that I’ve had my college transcripts on GitHub since I graduated years ago.
