You know what's funny? Codeberg has said nothing about being concerned about liability.
Their terms service change simply mentions that they require certain licenses and that they have concern over the licensing of LLM meeting that standard.
Event their follow up communication says absolutely nothing of liability.
P2P torrent users are nothing like a code hosting platform. 🤣
As has been said - their liability for llm code is no different from hosting any other code. They already have the same risk. And that is typically that they must respond to take-down notices which they are already doing.
They are already dealing with all of the problems they would be dealing with with llm code.
It's just code puritanism wrapped in pseudo legal justification. Own it.
People can upload code that violates copyright too. No llm required.
So if that is the concern have a rule about not violating copyright (which they may already have). And there is likely already a process for handling that.
This is the problem I have with the situation: the solution chosen (banning llm code) doesn't really address the concerns they've raised directly. It's just apologetics to make it sound like it's reason-based rather than "we don't like it".
It's their platform, they can do what they want, but let's not pretend it's not code-puritanism.
Huh. I mostly read people moralizing the use of AI and wanting to slap a scarlet AI on anyone who uses it while derisively using the terms "slop" and "vibe" to poison the well.
This wasn't a "lie to children" - that's a simplification. This was like explaining the Pythagorean theorem by introducing imaginary numbers.
Almost nobody ever uses hex to represent IP addresses ever. There is no reason to bring up hex. It complicates things rather than simplifies.
And to say "[t]hey are actually hex numbers from 0 to FF" is just misleading to the point of wrong. Numbers are not "hex" or "base 10" or "binary". They're numbers. We only represent them as hex or base10. They aren't "different numbers".
And in this case we almost always use base10. SO WHY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT HEX?
I mean - they are "numbers". Numbers are not in hex or decimal. Saying "they're really hex numbers" is not just wrong it's kinda meaningless since ff == 255.
The "." are just separators. Each segment is a number from 0-255 (1 byte). So you hold three segments static (e.g. 10.10.10.x) and then increment the last segment from 0-255 (so 10.10.10.0 -> 10.10.10.255). Then the next segment increments (10.10.11.0 -> 10.10.11.255).
