Just saw this post about a password manager accepting LLM-generated code: https://blobfox.coffee/@Ember/115508619537320810
What I don't understand is: Why is Github Copilot making a pull request to their repository in the first place? Is it something the maintainers of the repository enabled themselves, or is it enabled by GitHub without asking anyone? ![]()
@vaporeon_ furmer
@vaporeon_ i still hate that it’s a feature at all though, purrsonally
@aescling I do admit that I have a GitHub account under my deadname, I think I created it before they got bought by Microsoft, and I kept it around because I needed it for my thesis (which involved extending an existing program whose source code is on GitHub)... I suppose I could delete it now, but I do worry that such a situation will come up again, and I'm not sure whether I have the energy to fight such a requirement (especially since surely there was no malicious intent, it was just the easiest way for them to get a shared Git repository most likely)
But whenever I finish any of my current projects, I promise that the source code will be on my personal website and not on GitHub
@aescling Definitely, and I think free software projects should move off GitHub (It's controlled by the enemy (Microsoft)! It promotes "AI" trash! Why are you still on there?!) and onto some free software solution if at all possible
Just, disappointingly few of them have done that :(
