Very disappointing. There is no "neutral" for AI, so this is effectively a vote for slop.

This is an extremely common misunderstanding about AI in software. In order for AI to "move up one layer of abstraction" it has to actually be an abstraction. But AI output will _always_ be flawed in ways that mean you…
LLMs are not intelligent. Please don't anthropomorphize.

Proposal A would of course be the best option, but requires a two thirds majority for... some reason. Proposals B, C, D, E are all defeatist policies that appeal to a "here to stay" narrative. Proposal G is potentially…

Yep, that's impossible. The hard truth is that most people this lost to LLM psychosis cannot understand that fact. It's better to treat it like someone in a cult, arguing the facts isn't going to help if they refuse to…
You're arguing semantics, but I think that expanding your definition of intelligence to include ant colonies and weather systems is going to make it completely useless to say anything at all about an LLM. The problem…
I have met many programmers throughout my career, and very few of them want to talk to stakeholders, much less customers (exceptions are freelancers and founders, especially of software development shops). And, “having…
In decades to come we view "chatbot" AI as one of the most dangerous inventions of this century. Once regulation catches up and they are outlawed, we'll look back on this period of history with horror.
If you believe that an LLM can understand and make judgements then you have fundamentally misunderstood what an LLM is. I'd strongly suggest you read up on the internals.
LLMs do not have goals and cannot understand. Please don't anthropomorphize.
It explained something to me today. So your point is disproven. No. It produced a statistically likely answer. What is intelligence then if not explaining things. "the ability to learn, understand, and make judgments or…
Your LLM is not "smart" and it cannot "explain", it is a program that can output a statistically average text of an explanation. Don't mistake the capabilities of these models for intelligence.
I'm sure forcing workers to use the chatbot that drives people to suicide is going to go great yeah.
I suspect there's going to be some good people who leave, not wanting to participate in that sort of dialogue What "sort of dialogue" are you referring to?
To be blunt, I think you may have misunderstood the values to begin with. A motion being passed by a majority is a lagging indicator to the values of the membership, so if they changed they will have changed a long time…
Flippant maybe, but not bait. AI is many things, and a moral choice is one of them. Codeberg's stance isn't a moral one as much as a technical one, but there is a very strong argument that the use of AI is inherently…

I'm faced with the question on whether all my investment can go up in flames on the whims of a shadow group. What "shadow group" would that be? The paying members of Codeberg e.V. who voted to pass this motion?
Why do people keep doing OpenAI's marketing for them? There will inevitably be some people who dismiss this story as a dishonest marketing trick by OpenAI to make their models sound terrifyingly effective. I found 81…
