   If you are a member of Codeberg e.V. please take the time to participate in the poll that was just sent out about banning vibe-coded projects on Codeberg.

   Please agree to the proposal. Slop can live on GitHub.

     @tante how would you even detect that? Aside from people that say they vibecoded stuff, I dont think thats very detectable unless you employ people or (heh) LLMs to check for it.

     @theeclecticdyslexic@mstdn.social @tante@tldr.nettime.org tbh I don't think the people spamming vibe coded PR requests care about feeling welcome. My concern is that the spam will continue but people will also get into petty arguments accusing people of using LLM code when they're not like what's happened with artists. There are so many cases of real artists getting accused of using genAI when they're not to the point a lot have had to start livestreaming their process just to avoid accusations

     @theeclecticdyslexic@mstdn.social @tante@tldr.nettime.org seems like it will just result in people arguing over whether something is vibe coded or not instead. Isn't that potentially worse?

     @anemone @tante I don't think that will be the case, but I could be wrong. No AI policies have been working okay on the servers represented in my fedi feed... They aren't perfect, but I almost never interact with the slop, and when I do, I can report it.

     I think it is most likely to be a community pruning force. If someone does not feel welcome, because they want to fire around merde requests at the speed of slop, they probably won't end up on codeberg.

     @anemone @tante The point isn't perfect enforcement I would think. I would suppose, the point is to have a policy to point to when someone sends you a vibed PR, so that we don't need to relitigate it every time. You simply tap the sign. Plenty of rules exist for purposes like this.

     While it may be "unenforceable" any reduction in the deluge is probably worth it, because right now it is a DDoS on many maintainers brains.

     @tante@tldr.nettime.org I agree with this because Codeberg only allows free software.
     
     As you can not verify if a vibecoded project is actually free software, as that depends on the training data that was used for the LLM, vibecoded projects should not be allowed under the current rules already.

     @Suzu@detroitriotcity.com @tante@tldr.nettime.org If they take LLM generated code and rewrite it with their own comments and variables and such, I do not think it is easy to tell.

     @SuperDicq @tante btw, is there an accurate way to recognize if a project was vibecoded?
     
     If we go just by basic stuff like "oh, AI always use a weird - character in comments", wouldn't it be easy for someone to give a short pass and disguise their vibecoded project as a written by hand one?

     @Suzu@detroitriotcity.com @tante@tldr.nettime.org People could always lie, it's similar to plagiarism.
     
     But that's not the point. I think 99% of vibecoded projects are quite obvious because it has CLAUDE.md in the root and rediculous AI tell signs all over the place because no human has ever read the code. Keeping these projects out of the door already solves most of the problems.

     @Suzu@detroitriotcity.com @tante@tldr.nettime.org Yes, exactly. And also because it conflicts with the mission of promoting free software that Codeberg has, because slopcode has dubious copyright status.

     @SuperDicq @tante yeah, it makes sense. I mean, if the guy vibecoded and didn't even bother reviewing it, it has no place being hosted.

     @Suzu@detroitriotcity.com @tante@tldr.nettime.org Nobody actually knows if you can enforce copyright on a piece of code written by an LLM with minimal human intervention. This has never been tried yet.

     @Suzu@detroitriotcity.com @tante@tldr.nettime.org Not allowing slop projects like this saves a lot of money on hosting I think.
