Comment on Changes to Sourcehut's terms of service regarding LLMs

Comments

I've been a paying customer since... pretty much since I've first seen the project, which has been quite a few years. I've always known the srht founders as rather strongly opinionated - for better and worse. This has always bothered me a bit, but I still strongly preferred it to Github and the likes. And it didn't hit me either with the cryptocurrency related bans. Unfortunately this time, it does. And not because the policy is an anti complete slop policy, but because it bans relatively (at least to me) reasonable AI use as well.

Disappointing, sad, but not surprising. Moral grandstanding in the face of AI does little, it's already here to stay, whether we like it or not.

I wish there were reasonable alternatives.

CodeBerg ... oh sorry this isn't about GitHub being dead again /s

Well I guess the alternative, in this case, is GitHub or have they also changed their ToS/TaC?

I've stuck to GitHub while others have migrated away. I've been amused by the changes in ToS/TaC related to AI and now wondering whether I will just stick to GH.

And I don't even use AI generated code ... the irony of it all!
