I still remember when some people said that Microsoft buying GitHub wouldn't be a problem in the future.

I can already tell the guy is a huge fan of cheeto prez.

Gargle my balls or get out.

Considering AI is just glorified autocomplete, this announcement is hardly a surprise.

Remember when Microsoft first bought it and not long after they decided that all code in the free repositories was fair game for autocomplete suggestions in Microsoft programs?

This is just the next logical step.

The next, next logical step will be stealing publicly accessible code from other repositories "by accident" if everyone leaves.

CEOs, dude. Some things never change.

Essentially... Leave now, or contribute to training your replacement.

No u lol

Not using github anyway

Embrace? With so many devs constantly being laid off, how about NO?

I got stuck today in a part of my workplace where they have one of the local shitty radio stations playing, couldn't have my headphones in as people kept coming up and talking to me, and a shitty pop music mashup plays and it struck me, this is AI.

To clarify there is some shitty artist who gets the credit, but its just a selection of clips crossfaded and slightly processed into each other to make a new "song" out of a dozen pop songs. No actual creativity, no new material, just a quasi algorithmic blending of songs so that some soulless talentless grifter can claim they are an artist.

It gets deeper though, as mixed in there are songs that couldn't actually be performed live and acoustic due to the amount of sound engineering and vocal processing that went into the original versions of these songs.

The whole thing is turning into an Ouroboros, they have worked out how to make perfectly bland, meaningless music and now the snake is eating its tail as the industry consumes that slop to manufacture more slop.

Yet deeper, why does this beige bullshit get air time... Why its our old friend capitalist market forces, no one passionate about music wants to make this shit, its the people who want the fame and money and view music as the means to that end.

We know that AI makes people dumber, we know that it leads to the atrophy of skill and talent, and we know the only motivation for its use is capitalist. AI is pop music.

For what its worth I used italics on AI as I categorically refuse to believe this garbage is actually artificial intelligence. I am reasonably certain that actual artificial intelligence is the next fusion power, it's going to be "only a few years away" from being viable until well after I die, but its just too good a marketing term to leave it alone while we make do with these stunted chinese rooms.

Wow that rant blew up.

is there any script or tool out there that helps automate the mirroring of GH repos to Codeberg (or another forge)? I have 150+ repos, most are archived or outdated, but if I'm migrating I'd like to do with everything.

update:

Codeberg limits the number of repositories per user to 100 by default. If you have more than 100 repositories to migrate, you'll need to request a higher quota following their instructions.

bummer; I might need to host forgejo

A few years ago, there was potential for dirty looks coming your way if you suggested that you may be using AI for generating code. Soon, it’s going to be frowned upon to boast that you don’t use AI tools (because you’re probably wasting time).

I don't think he's wrong in some regards, but only in the 'AI looks somewhat promising in our future'. He didn't need to be condescending about it.
