Anyone else noticed the increase of Vibe coded plugins flooding the market?

Love seeing this Space X stock go down every day.

Too bad that once congress approves $1.5 trillion for the defense (war) department, they will sign a data center deal with welfare queen Elon and bail him out.

Codeberg (an alternative platform to GitHub] is going to change their terms of use to prohibit 'vibe-coded projects'.

To us, it seems ridiculous to see projects with a single developer and virtually no users consuming as much or even more resources than some of the largest community projects on Codeberg, which operate frugal with CI/CD and storage resources. We do not believe it is reasonable for Codeberg to invest our precious donation money into hosting of large ghost projects.

This is about their business model though. It's also signaling at the moment. However, they will face the same detection problem that everyone else does. This will not go as people expect and will end up as tribal finger-pointing. For the solo dev, central git platforms don't really offer much.

I feel their pain, but, this is still an arbitrage moment as people use tools as they were intended from the past when the world was different to signal something that has less value going forward. They are correct, ghost projects provide little value. So, sunset projects with little to no activity, problem solved.

I will say though, that they're not wrong about open source being under threat.

Now ai vendors are ordering tens of thousands of old / rare books and basically destroying them to feed them into chatbots because they ran out of info otherwise.

How is feeding chatbots with old/rare books destroying them versus feeding said material into human consciousness?
As far as I can observe a select amount of humans have gathered information and eventually created A.I.
Are these old/rare books even relevant as far as innovation is concerned?
These old/rare books being fed into A.I. are to serve human feedback. I don't agree that they are being fed into A.I. because there was a run out of info. It's additional info being added.

[TechHaus]

No, they have run out. This is the only slop-free stuff they can find.

Despite me not using Git for my code, this gets a wholehearted thumbs up from me.

This is a consequence of court rulings. They obtain the book legally, cut off the spine, scan, then dispose of the physical copy. They aren't destroying rare books. That framing is just fear mongering. Here, I have some books that they can have, I have a box behind me, they are going to go to the city dump because they are too heavy for the bin. Nobody wants these books, they are garbage, even though that offends people.

"Fourier Series and Boundary Value Problems" Churchill, 2nd Ed. 1963
"Elementary Differential Equations with Linear Algebra", Rabenstein, 1970

The degree of effort required to find homes for these musty gems is worth nobody's effort. If there's anything useful in them that isn't in newer material, it's better in models. The overall value of more material isn't just the literal content, it's the enrichment of the statistical space that encodes the relationships between topics and that is derived from diversity and richness of the source material.

Hence, that they are buying old books, scanning them to improve models, and enriching the tool for future generations is more noble and useful than someone trying to hock old crap on amazon or to hoard it for themselves.

The public take on this is nostalgic, and, charitably, quaint.

Oh, look, it's already started.

All of this virtue signaling does not serve the greater good. You can hold in your mind at the same time that the big AI firms are extractive and abusive but that the tools are still valuable and that improving them is better for humanity. You can hold in your mind at the same time that it's the best encyclopedia ever created but that the sci-fi narrative is overblown.

I Regret Migrating to Codeberg

A brief comment on Codeberg’s new terms, and why a free-software host deciding which projects are welcome worries me more than the bans themselves.

I won't post anymore, because to the extent that I support the attention economy, I support legitimate creators sharing their ideas on non-extractive platforms. So, click the link, get his take.

Yes, if they just scanned non-copyrighted books it would be fine. But they scan just any books, even copyrighted ones, and in the rule of law that is stealing.

No, you are wrong. The courts have decided this already. It is fair use. You can be mad, you can disagree with the ruling, however, you are not qualified nor have the standing to change the ruling. So, as a matter of fact, not opinion, it is, permitted, "in the rule of law."
