Submission + - SourceHut changes terms of service limiting LLM use (sourcehut.org)

bjoast writes: The SourceHut Git hosting provider recently changed its terms of service to limit how users may make of use of LLMs in their work, citing resource constraints and ethical concerns. From the the new terms of service:

The new terms of service, which will go into effect for new projects after the usual two week notice period (i.e. September 10th), will now include the following under the list of prohibited content:

  • original content written with or which facilitates the use of LLMs (large language models) or other generative AI technologies

The use of LLMs or other generative AI tools to produce or assist with the production of source code, assets, tickets, emails, and so on, will no longer be permitted on SourceHut once these terms take effect. As with our other policy changes, the intention is to roll this out slowly and thoughtfully. Each possible violation will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and we are open to making exceptions.

Any random data on a partition is a suspected holder of hidden volumes. Even in cases where there are no hidden volumes, enjoy trying to convince border police of that while they're holding you indefinitely. This is just a friendly reminder that random data and plausible deniability do not mix. Holding random data can be a major risk if that is all you have and no ability to prove otherwise. Depending on who you are and where you're traveling, transparency may be the safest option.

It was hardly a "simple courtesy". It represented a massive and unnecessary potential compatibility break. It also made no sense and is probably the dumbest thing I've encountered in my 20 years of programming. It also sets a really bad precedent for the future. We are allowing political activists to alter established terminology in our discipline for insane reasons. What other eruptive changes will be forced on us in the future when the next political wave happens? Are you really this eager to submit control of your nomenclature to any short-lived political movement? Sorry, but that is just pathetic and weak.
