this is one reason I ascribe more incompetence than malice to most boosters. the boosters were mad about the codeberg ban. a calculatingly evil conspiracy would understand that a brutal model collapse is inevitable for coding models if there is no fresh, nonslop option for modern code.

so the mustache twirling LLM capitalist would be overjoyed to “respect the decision” of the codeberg crowd, make lots of noises about everyone using the tools that work best for them, and quietly continue hoovering up fresh data. instead they are high on their own supply, telling us to try some

they earnestly believe we’d be happier if we did it too, and they want us to enjoy the sweet relief of letting our minds go along with them. this is not to say that it’s harmless, you still shouldn’t do heroin even if your buddy *sincerely* enjoys heroin, but I think it can inform our resistance

I used the word "fresh" here just to mean "novel" as in "written more recently than the aipocalypse" but the more I look at it the more I am realizing that this is maybe a great word to use? There are two kinds of information, fresh and slop? Slop code is always somebody else's reheated nachos, even if you don't know where the nachos originally came from, whereas fresh code is original.
