It's not getting enough attention that the Trump administration has banned the sale of ALL WiFi routers made outside of the US.

@as400 @mudala @VeroniqueB99 Last I knew, #FreeBSD adopted an official policy rejecting AI/LLM patch submissions. They announced that policy last year at the FreeBSD Developer Summit.
Can you provide a git commit hash or a link to LLM slop in FreeBSD?
@lattera @as400 @mudala @VeroniqueB99 there is no such policy. core is currently considering what our LLM policy should be, they did not announce it yet.
-
#freebsd is already accepting LLM slop ...
@as400 @VeroniqueB99
I read "Current Policy on AI-Generated Code in FreeBSD
FreeBSD is not currently accepting AI-generated code. The project has expressed concerns regarding the quality and licensing implications of using code produced by AI tools." -

It's not getting enough attention that the Trump administration has banned the sale of ALL WiFi routers made outside of the US. It's one of the first steps required to control Americans' use of the Internet, to spy on what you're doing online, to suppress information they don't want you to see and to even turn off the Internet at their discretion.
This is looking increasingly like a trap.

@VeroniqueB99 Is there even such a thing? Even the us brands are made in China... And Trumpistan wants backdoors into the limes of cisco.
Putin will be proud of his protégé... -
@lattera @as400 @mudala @VeroniqueB99 there is no such policy. there was some sort of pre-announcement of "we are working on a policy" which bad news organisations like heise.de reported as "FreeBSD rejects LLM code contributions".

@lw @as400 @mudala @VeroniqueB99 It's possible I might be misremembering or misunderstanding the presentation.
If I get some spare time this weekend, I'll dig deeper for that presentation.

@lattera @as400 @mudala @VeroniqueB99 i don't doubt your claim there was some sort of presentation related to this (i would be interested to know the details, actually) but as a FreeBSD committer, i can tell you, 100% for sure, we do not have a policy forbidding LLM-assisted commits.

@lw @as400 @mudala @VeroniqueB99 Understood. But I"m still curious about that claim (not made by you) that LLM slop has already made it to FreeBSD.

@VeroniqueB99 They took notes from ISIS, Iran, Russia, North Korea, and the nazis - not because they wanted to install democracy there, but because they wanted to end it here

Is it even possible to review all code? How can core take care of all this? It would be a tremendous burden I think. -

@lw @as400 @mudala @VeroniqueB99 I'd call that an LLM commit in a third-party project that FreeBSD just happens to adopt.

It would be a tremendous burden I think.@mudala @lw @as400 @VeroniqueB99 I generally pay attention to the #FreeBSD src tree commit-by-commit. I've found a few vulnerabilities that way. I'm aware of at least three threat actors at the nation state level that do the same.

@lattera @as400 @mudala @VeroniqueB99 well, okay. i don't really care about this issue one way or the other, i was just trying to be helpful
i can tell you, anecdotally, i know at least several FreeBSD committers who eagerly use LLMs to write code and are very on-board with the AI hype train. it's almost certain those people have committed LLM-assisted code.

It would be a tremendous burden I think.core doesn't review all code. if they adopted an anti-LLM policy, it would be something akin to a "don't commit code you plagiarised from a commercial project" policy, i.e. we can't prove it, but it's bad and please don't do it... and if you do, we'll probably revoke your commit bit.

@VeroniqueB99 I've posted about this a bunch. Written about it too. There's just too much else at the moment, I guess. idk.
