Wow, got about 9 repos of mine there and a few from my startup's, only public ones are scraped so I say fair enough. Happy to have switched to running my own git infra a year ago

If someone wants to scrap the shitty ass code I have on GitHub, have at it. Talk about poisoning AI

Out of my 33 public repositories, they only scraped the 7 oldest, pointless ones. Weird.

Get off of Github if you think this is a problem 🤷 There are alternatives like Forgejo (Codeberg), Gitlab, and Radicle (decentralised).

Thats why you write your projects now, download all weights locally and never look back.

For posterity huggingface is terrible. If you need it. Even codebergs new changes are a disaster in teh making The days of "if its on the internet" are now your own responsibilty.

Love how things are being rewritten on the fly now.. Even better, lets scrape and "selfimprove".. WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong

Looks for my username. Sees my 8 open repositories in there. Sees my poorly coded Uni projects are also in there.

Oh lord my code is actively helping making AI worse.

A number of my repos are listed.

But the weird part is that it also lists a repo I don't recognize. The repo does actually exist on my github account, but it's marked as "ignored", and the description says it was automatically exported from Google Code. The code seems to be a MacOS shareware file encryption tool called "BitClamp", published circa 2008.

No idea how it got on my account.

Also, all this reminds me of drama in the Skyrim and Minecraft modding scenes, when devs publish stuff under Apache or MIT or whatever.

Then the devs find out they don’t like what others are doing with their code. Drama ensues.

…That’s kinda the deal with permissive licenses. Or posting publicly, like here on Lemmy. People will do things you don’t like with your code or content.

meanwhile I'm just here scraping GitHub repos for API keys and credentials 🤷‍♂️

for legal reasons I must insist this is a joke, and in Minecraft.

I don’t see a problem as long as they stick to AGPL when building a product out of it

Edit: Oh they also scraped my proprietary code 🧐

In theory, it's all supposed to be permissively licenced code and the opt out is more than other models give. I saw Starcoder as one of the more ethical models. I thought the underlying principals to be fair at least.

I'm interested in this gut hostility to it regardless. Kind of shows how you can't present LLMs in a positive angle no matter what. They shouldn't be using anything GPL or similar.

Bad News: My old GitHub repos are there.

Good News: I wrote that shit when I was 12. The code runs, but it's not good and not inventive.

Well… I’d rather the dataset be public and there, with an ostensible centralized opt-out, instead of every AI startup frantically rescraping the same things their predecessors did.

…and now, suddenly, github being overrun by vibecoded garbage isn’t so bad

Woof. They really went for it on my GitHub

Yes, there is code from 79 repositories in The Stack v3
