Looks for my username. Sees my 8 open repositories in there. Sees my poorly coded Uni projects are also in there.

Oh lord my code is actively helping making AI worse.

    Mission failed successfully!

    Glad to be part of the crew with shitty code in Github to taint them plagiarism machines!

    you joke but someone has actually traced to one of my commits a specific behavior that people on the internet have been complaining from LLMs recently.

    A friend of a friend saw the blog post about it and recognized the project name.

    For some reason the included only the repo for my github profile that has no code in it and not the other ones, my guess is that they avoided me because of the GPL license on all my code

    Spoileralso, some repositories were my first projects so they are way more shit than the avarage AI code and it would be funny if they poisoned themselves and i have some archived project that also have shit code but only on github because i switched to codeberg and rewrote them

    I checked out, it has some of my repositories. They crawled this stuff in 2025 and they probably won't update it. Whoever uses this dataset will have to deal with some super garbage, I tell ya.
