Pixelfed bans AI generated contributions.

[armavica@social.sciences.re]

@pixelfed Thank you!!

[laukidh@infosec.exchange]

@CuriousMagpie they block you for that?

[alexchapman@vee.seedy.cc]

@pixelfed Actually banning agentic contributions isn't really a good idea, as people can actually achieve good quality with coding agents.

[timaeus@nrw.social]

@pixelfed it might be pretty unrealistic to keep AI entirely out of your code if you base it on any other open source code that’s not yours. A range of other projects struggle with that.

[mattwebbdev@veganism.social]

@CuriousMagpie If he did block you, you're not missing out on anything.

[bluewinds@tech.lgbt]

@CuriousMagpie Remember to reward behavior you want to see. This is good news!

There's nothing so demoralizing as doing what somewhat wants and then getting chastised *anyway*.

@timaeus it might be pretty unrealistic to keep poison entirely out of your food if you source it from any other garden that’s not yours. A range of other gardens struggle with that.

@winterknell @pixelfed that’s a good one ! A slightly modified metaphor with respect to software development would be that poisoned compost you use in an organic garden for growing crops cannot be avoided if you get it from your neighbor using pesticides.

[jmd777@mastodon.world]

@pixelfed excellent!

[timaeus@nrw.social]

@winterknell @pixelfed that’s the dilemma of every idealistic project. I struggled with that often.

@pixelfed looks like this might be a good week after all

[lariscusobscurus@wien.rocks]

@pixelfed Genuinely great to hear.

[faraiwe@mstdn.social]

@pixelfed glad to hear. It is the right thing to do.

[canleaf@mastodon.social]

@pixelfed and the agent preparations? Can you shed some light?

[winterknell@mastodon.social]

@timaeus Sure. But what it is not, is an argument for deliberately including slop or poisoned compost in your own projects. Purity is an ideal, and maybe impossible to achieve because we exist in an impure world, but giving up and embracing the slop is not the answer. Five thousand years of religious haggling documents that.

This foto wasn't created with AI, cause I made 2010 in Berlin and after it was taken, I never took an AI-creator or something like this. It's a wrong decision and false.

@poorpriest007 What do you mean? We are talking about the Pixelfed codebase
