Even though he liberally sprinkled pseudoscientificism into his metacognition, the older I get, the more I think he really got it.
Not a drop-in replacement for GitHub admittedly. Requires a bit more skills from the contributors. Which might be a fine gate, actually.
Not very advanced, but also not very far fetched to imagine it doing something a bit more sophisticated to get a job done. Also, since AI hasn't reached everywhere yet, there are still several completely unprotected things reachable via Internet. Is it even hacking if an AI just goes in to some of those?
What I'm trying to say that it's not a sign of high intelligence if you can break in to the shoddiest 90% of what humanity has put up in the net. The difficult part is discovery, and not because it's intellectually difficult but because it's a slog -- exactly the kind of thing current AIs are much better at.
But this (and especially the AI ban) is a big red flag and I'm steering clear from Codeberg.
I just recently read a really mediocre book with a 4.7/5 rating on Goodreads. Shows being sloppy is not exclusively a privilege for neither the AIs or producers.
I.e. possibly the same thing USA is also doing, but USA is an ally in some sense so it's not quite as bad.
