Technocracy and fascist politics are being embraced by megalomaniac elites scheming for their own survival

Codeberg community voted to ban AI-generated code in repositories:

https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/org/pulls/1253#issuecomment-19820434

I am a regular Codeberg user, left GitHub in 2019, and co-maintain Libre projects that saw very little if none at all AI in development.

And still I think this decision will backfire badly.

I, like most of Codeberg users, was not even aware that this discussion was in place, did not vote. This only passed because of the anti-AI Luddite crowd. Which, mind you, has a point, I have very conflicting feelings about AI myself, and I think that the current trajectory is quite worrying. But this is just a knee-jerk reaction that has clearly not been thought of well enough.

I applaude the philosophy, or the intent if you want, of not having Codeberg turn into another SlopHub. But this is fairy-tale wishful thinking. There is no way to reliably detect AI-generated code at scale in 2026.
I can already smell the mutual witch hunts across projects and "camps".

Anyway, I hope I'm wrong.

@tante sorry, the "how will people enforce this" argument is real, dismissing it will not make it disappear.

Time for a new #Introduction.

Inside me there is a battle between two Nicks.

One lives on LinkedIn. He is a champion of #technology and of people who use it to improve our lives. For #esa he seeks ways for #space and #satellites to transform #European #industries, and he channels the support of their #governments towards them.
📡 🛰️ 🚀 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 📈

One lives on Mastodon. They recognise their privilege and luck in being a tall, white, middle-aged middle-class, educated, able-bodied, startlingly handsome cishet man. They feel the righteous rage of Ned #Ludd, witnessing the destruction as #tech and #capitalism degrade #society and the #environment. And they seek the company of #woke and open people, who lighten the load with kindness and truth, humour, empathy and strength.
🌍 🤗 🇪🇸 🌈 ♻️ 🐈

Which Nick wins?
The one you feed.
☕ 🍕 🍨 🍺

En #Ludd han publicado una entrada que creo que las personas que les gusta #Dune de #FrankHerbert encontrarán interesante:

@contreattaque Je conseille aux ouvrières et ouvriers de #Yara de casser les outils de production...#Ludd

@nirro por mi parte ya la quité de mis bookmarks y rrss... y añadí a #Ludd que es contenido de calidad. Los de Giz que sigan con su IA, ahí juntitos... y solos.

Cuando #Blizzard se pone… a originalidad no le gana nadie. ¡Qué chulada de PC! Sortearán un ordenador con refrigeración líquida roja, sí roja, como la sangre… (de hecho su eslogan dice que es “Real human blood” 😃) si se llega a las 666 (756 litros) donaciones de sangre.

Una campaña realmente interesante y noble, porque habrá bastantes fans que quieran ese “bichajo” en sus manos.

Lástima que es solo un sorteo para los ciudadanos americanos… sino ya estaba allí el primero 🧛jajaja

Aquí la noticia en #Ludd: https://ludd.es/blizzard-sorteara-un-pc-inspirado-en-diablo-iv-con-refrigeracion-liquida-imbuida-en-sangre/

@thomholwerda Nice! I grew up in Skellefteå, went to college in Luleå a long time ago. I don't have any direct connections with current Ludd though.

They hang out on #ludd on Libera.Chat, might be worth attempting to reach out?
