I fully agree and add that »AI« is intended, created and developed (further) to be a surveillance, manipulation, control, and oppression network in every net IT application far beyond the obvious quality and job killer features. Rainer Mühlhoff made clear in a C3 event not long ago that »AI« is a vast global data collection project failing the check against (almost) every social criterion in the United Nations sustainability charta. He has analysed our (the majority's) everyday’s IT routines, describes the mobile IT world and, more and more, PC net applications as feedback loops to collect training and socioeconomic data for GAFAM AI development and Big Data stores.

This is the big thing for me even if I ignore everything else that's an issue. I've tried to use AI code assistants multiple times and I can't shake the feeling that getting good with them would be a lot of work for not nearly as much payoff, when I know there are infrastructure things I could work on that would make me WAY more pawductive and that wouldn't have those downsides >w<

Yeah in my day-to-day I find I don't need help writing sloppy code, I need help writing clean code!

A *well-designed* static type system is much more helpful...

Though a dynamic one is also useful in the right context...

You're open source, and run by a non-profit. That's good enough for me, and I've started moving all my projects over.

The fact that we see eye to eye on AI assistants isn't a co-incidence... 😄

(Thank you for your wonderful and free service.)

Thank you ever so much. That's the only correct stance on this whole topic.

also reducing site payload and not running bloated client code that runs my fans at 100% after ten seconds of browsing a patch log

*I'm looking at YOU, GitHub*

Gosh, how *ever* can a code repo hosting company compete with another code repo hosting company without putting all their money and energy into a ludicrously expensive technology not directly related to hosting code repos, which doesn't even work, and which almost nobody wants?

It's like asking how the Yankees can compete with the Red Sox if they're not willing to eat all the footballs.

Good on you for making the sane call.

Very weak argument imo.

How are the servers for codeberg powered?

As we have received a bunch of questions on the matter: If you'd like to explore machine learning and AI in the context of free and libre software (perhaps from a less commercialized perspective), you're absolutely welcome to use Codeberg.

We explicitly welcome researchers and solutions that are built more ethically. In general, we also love software that doesn't take lots of resources to run! As nuance can get lost fast, feel free to just ask us if you have any questions or concerns!

Es ist bedauerlich, dass das IOC es noch immer nicht geschafft hat, klare Regeln zu entwickeln!

Schließlich hatten wir mit Caster Semenya (800 m) schon eine Frau mit "zu hohen Testosteron Werten". Die stellen nun mal einen Vorteil dar. Sollen wir Doping freigegeben? Als Chancenausgleich? Ich wünsche mir einfach klare Regeln!

PS: In meinem Bekanntenkreis ist ein Mensch trans. Ich mag diesen Menschen sehr und habe null Problem mit der Biografie!

Olympia-Posse um Boxerin Khelif befeuert Testosteron-Debatte

Ein Olympia-Boxkampf sorgt für neuerliche Diskussionen um Testosteron-Grenzwerte im Leistungssport. Das IOC steht dabei vor einer nur schwer lösbaren Frage.
