@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

@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.

@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 @lattera @as400 @VeroniqueB99
Is it even possible to review all code? How can core take care of all this? It would be a tremendous burden I think. -

@lattera @as400 @mudala @VeroniqueB99 well, i can verify that 6495dafd58b94a44fc9bc966ef47d6bc6916f5b9 exists in my local git checkout and does include "Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>".

@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.

@VeroniqueB99 part of the reason it hasn't been widely reported is because it's not a real thing... it's just another trump shakedown.

There is no 'looks like'. It is a pathway to coerce the manufacturers into providing a backdoor.

yeah I was at that point in the 2000's when social media was being born. All seemed like a waste of time to me. Still does, but that was one of those forks in the road of tech where it seemed like a lot of wheels were being re-invented needlessly and resources wasted, and fuckery abounding. Ditto with early smart phones. But both matured, eventually. Still, those transitions are painful. Old wisdom gets forgotten. Perhaps it was always thus.

I was happy with Archie before we got HTML. That and the news groups. When everyone had their own corner of the Net. I have to laugh there hasn't been anything new since the 70's it all just been refinements of old tech. I got back into the media because of our current administration, couldn't stand the thought of him after the first run. Folks just fucked themselves. Sad. Biden/Harris had set it up so we would have the economy of the 60's. Peace

@VeroniqueB99 i knew this sanction is going to be impossible to implement. Because the majority of tech is being made outside the US, and they're lazy to produce one.

@kDelta Oops, IME. I suggest you begin to learn from tin foil hat types.

@Felis_Catus_Domesticus @VeroniqueB99 Or the idiots with their big ideas, Amazon = = Remember the Last Whole Earth Catalogue? Even the FaceBook folks we had The Well, BBS's all over the country. I ran one that the first page said something like Hack this Board. I had kids all over trying to do so, some ended up with good jobs and Intel groups and others ended up in jail. Guess I succeeded. 8*)

indeed I do.. Even got a copy of one around here somewhere.
