Hm... so this new AI thing from @gitea ... it's definitely interesting, and many people aren't reading, again.

So, what did they do?

They basically created an API client that is usable for LLMs - meaning that LLMs can now directly interact with Gitea. It's not integrated into the server by itself, and nobody is required to use it. Basically, it's HTTP ↔ MCP. It's like an API client for a programming language. So it's not a bad thing in itself.

Also, this client by itself doesn't crawl other sites / uses data that was crawled from other sites, since it's literally just an API client.

BUT (!) you have to use an existing LLM model using a client (e.g. Cursor) to be able to use this API client. Now that's the interesting part... I don't know if there's actually a good LLM that only learned from data that it was allowed to use. This means, that Gitea kind of promotes using LLMs that crawled people's sites without their permission.

Sadly, the screenshots shown in the blog post by Gitea don't show what model they are using, so we can't tell if they are using a good or a bad model. (Though, I'm not sure if we specifically need to know that in this case.)

Anyway, I'm always happy to see people switch to @forgejo. I, personally, used it almost since I started moving away from GitHub / -Lab and I love it. Sadly, I know a few people who can't yet move to Forgejo since they're using architectures that Forgejo doesn't build for docker yet.

For those people who are still angry and "need to" be aggressive towards the devs: Calm down, maybe read my blog post that I made in collaboration with Finnley about outrage (steffo.blog/outrage-warps-real) and have a great day. Maybe go for a walk outside?

Anyway, have a lovely day! :floofHeart:

Artículo muy interesante para conocer las interioridades de los #LLM y su manera de "pensar". Conocer cómo funciona un modelo de lenguaje por dentro me parece la mejor vacuna contra el hype tecnobro de la #IA. Además del pequeño detalle de que nos están intentando vender una revolución basada en una tecnología que no terminamos de entender exactamente cómo funciona. ¿Qué podría salir mal?

So let me get this straight: Trump’s tariff formula (a) was the result of an AI query which (b) was misunderstood by a human and (c) misapplied to (d) incomplete data on the basis of (e) bad economic thinking to (f) crash the world economy

Probably Mark Zuckerberg is to blame.



Therefore the USA should invade Iraq.



In Britain we can prevent it happening by issuing Digital Identity Cards.

Anyone knows #AI #LLM documentaries, talk, courses about getting a basic understanding how this technology came to light + how it works behind the scenes? (for dummies)

There is surely a lot of hype, shortcomings, risks & danger if used in the wrong places - but it sure is incredible to chat with something so "agile"? Like a hallucinating clippy?
