Fun story coming:

#libsodium has a #NoAI policy: https://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium/blob/master/AI-POLICY.md

The author made a commit using Claude: https://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium/commit/4f44abfed4c5ee7e1667e3fdf46d9253342cca69

Someone pointed it out in a discussion. The commit got force-pushed over, and the discussion was deleted: https://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium/discussions/1564.

Funny enough, GitHub still flags the repo.

I suppose at this point libsodium should be assumed to be #slop, with author sweeping the fact under the carpet.

By the way, does anyone have any clue why there's no "archive the page" button when I paste the commit URL to Internet Archive?

@mgorny "Funny enough, GitHub still flags the repo."
ahhh *that's* interesting, that explains a mystery I had with another project I was looking at. The project was flagged since I've blocked "claude" but I couldn't see any commits, I assume they'd done the same force push tactic to cover their tracks. FFS.

@ivor I didn’t know I could block users – that should help a lot.

Thank you!

@ArneBab @mgorny very handy, you get a big banner like this so (at the moment) you can easily spot the slop.... I assume this feature will be removed soon.

A github warning banner that says:
"A user you’ve blocked has previously contributed to this repository." — A github warning banner that says: "A user you’ve blocked has previously contributed to this repository."

@mgorny That's nuts. Why would somebody create a no-ai policy and then use ai in the same project?

@hroncok @mgorny the policy says they do not "accept contributions" generated by AI. Apparently that was narrowly written on purpose

@aburka @hroncok, yeah, maybe. Except if they did, they wouldn't be ashamed of using it and swipe the issue under the carpet.
