Long drive home, pondering seeding free software with (neutered) botshit to poison non-consensual LLM training.

By the way, I'd love for someone to tell me I've gotten some or all of this wrong! I really want to not lose my respect for SWH.

(No interest in debating LLM-as-copyright laundring here or ever tho. Or with any apologists for any corporations.)

(I should note that I've had considerable difficulty getting my software into Software Heritage in the first place, since I refuse to host it on Github. The irony.)

By facilitating a corporation that is attempting to set itself up as a governance over my community, how is Software Heritage not behaving in a way that runs counter to their mission statement of preserving software?

My immediate reaction is to consider removing my software from Software Heritage itself!

Asking to be removed from The Stack would implicitly legitimize this claim of governance over me.

"The Stack is an open governance interface between the AI community and the open source community."

This is a seizure of power. It is not legitimate governance.

Yes, the terms of use of The Stack require updating your copy of the dataset when it's updated to remove software huggingface.co/datasets/bigcod

But they say nothing about stopping using models already trained on that data.

And "the most recent usable version" gives considerable leeway. Presumably if we all removed all our software from The Stack, it would no longer be usable.

Also, interesting how THEIR terms matter, but MY terms don't

The insufficiency is simple: When a LLM trained on software can output portions of copyrighted software, which they absolutely can and do, and when that gets used in proprietary software, all the provinance tracking of the dataset used to train it becomes irrelevant. At that point my license has been violated.

Software Heratige's statement's silence on this topic, in their list of principles, is deafening.

anticipating the Realtor's class action settlement possibly paying me back a small portion of what was clearly daylight robbery when my realtor was like "oh and we'll pay this other Realtor(TM) 2.5% for finding these buyers for your house (the buyers absolutely found it on zillow)"

(Looks like the Realtors actually won again, since this settlement avoids another suite that "threatened a damages award of more than $40 billion", 100x as much.)

@substack yeah, I followed spider-farm when you were on scuttlebutt. I'm 100% offgrid too, and my house uses around 1/10th the US average energy.

But there's alternative and then there's mass market, like it or not, so I am excited when I see indications the mass market is making any kind of improvement.

@substack a fridge plugged into an IQ8 with a single 300w solar panel should be able to keep food cold on sunny days.

Fill the freezer with water for thermal mass and it will probably keep sufficiently cool overight with no power.

Add 2 more solar panels and IQ8's and it will run on cloudy days too.

That's a much simplified version of my offgrid fridge0.branchable.com needing none of its special components of software.
