Yes, the same. But at the past month I saw a rise of toots, even in Mastodon, with instructions about how to integrate FreeBSD machines with some LLMs. Also, I read about issue in the Claude (IIRC) GitHub repo with request to add FreeBSD support to some of their tool.

So, looks like "AI"-believers know about FreeBSD, use it and come for it

If you have something to write to FreeBSD Foundation, please do it.

Also, since FreeBSD has some sponsorship from corporations, possibly this was the reason of adding slopcode in the FreeBSD source tree:

@evgandr I guess one of the corpos sponsoring #FreeBSD told them "guys, either you use LLMs or you loose money".

Fuck, I wish I could code. I'd be all over this, you have no idea. I already procrastinate on school, the least I could do would be something useful with that time. If you make that OS tho, I'll be the first to be a monthly donator, and heck, if at some point it can run the latest version of Ardour (my digital audio workstation), even if I rely on Linux for other things, I can have an open source music making station that is 100% verifiably slop free and that'll be awesome. I know Ardour isn't friendly to AI at all, but if any of my FLOSS plugins start to… yeah I'm not thinking about that rn.

Wanting a computer with no slop code and, by extension, with a dev team that actually gives a damn about the issues AI causes, is not much to ask.

Yeah, I'm really pissed about FreeBSD as well, I had always known them as the no-AI system.

And before you think about switching to another BSD, there is no guarantee that isn't slop-free either. BSD's like to exchange code a lot.

In fact, I was discussing potentially making a kernel and OS with no slop software in it with some peeps in another thread.

On the other hand, nice to see people still working on EVi ports!

In desperation I started writing an email to the Foundation, but will sleep on it; I don't want to burn too many bridges until I fully understand where this came from, if it is final, what it actually means, etc.

But for fucks sake...I started looking at making an #evi port to replace Vim everywhere - and I'm not even a bloody Vim user!
