Please excuse me while I'm having a little existential crisis, lol.

This is prompted by the news of python's chardet being completely "rewritten" by GenAI to replace its original LGPL with MIT, by the way. It's free for all now, it seems.

[lumi@snug.moe]

@nina_kali_nina that whole thing is so ridiculous

you can't "clean room" reimplement a project with a slop machine trained on the project itself

[aramya@types.pl]

@nina_kali_nina i regret having ever liked computers

[tehstu@hachyderm.io]

@nina_kali_nina The rapid acceleration of so many projects seemingly "welp, what are you gonna do?" and accepting it just depresses me to my core.

[nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt]

@tehstu same. Same.

[tragivictoria@mastodon.catgirl.cloud]

@nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt and that's why I think any lists of tainted software by LLMs are just not viable anymore. At this point every major project have it, making choices based on this is utterly impossible.

[tragivictoria@mastodon.catgirl.cloud]

@lumi@snug.moe @nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt

usage of genai should be shamed

I'm sorry, but that's talking as if there wasn't immediately an outrage whenever someone says they used LLM for something.

[tragivictoria@mastodon.catgirl.cloud]

@tehstu@hachyderm.io @nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt well, because… what are you gonna do? In my case it's less accepting and more just giving up.

[mmu_man@m.g3l.org]

@nina_kali_nina we'll soon look at AI-less projects the same way scientists look at pre nuclear test iron…

[nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt]

@tragivictoria yup :<

[lumi@snug.moe]

@tragivictoria @nina_kali_nina not enough outrage

[pionir@masto.bike]

@nina_kali_nina

Apps I think aren't too bad as there will always be other projects that will spring up to fill a non ai gap.

Linux however is going to be harder to deal with

[nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt]

@tragivictoria @lumi it depends on the social circle. There are lots and lots of people either celebrating the torment nexus or trusting the BBC's (or worse, the government's) coverage of it.

[tragivictoria@mastodon.catgirl.cloud]

@lumi@snug.moe @nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt the only thing more I can think of is sending death threats, but that's not really great, innit.

[lumi@snug.moe]

@tragivictoria @nina_kali_nina it's going to be more effective to celebrate projects standing against it than making lists of slopware, imo

support projects that have a moral compass

[tragivictoria@mastodon.catgirl.cloud]

@lumi@snug.moe @nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt that's a nice idea

[nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt]

@tragivictoria @tehstu at the very least, you can say "fork it"

[domi@donotsta.re]

@nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt hugs tight ... yeah. mood. me too.

and it feels like it has gotten really bad in the past what, two weeks? not that it was good before, but the speed at which this is accelerating is just

[moses_izumi@fe.disroot.org]

@lumi @nina_kali_nina
May this be a time where the least UNIX-minded tech pundits you've ever seen rapidly pivot toward NetBSD, just for being the first OS to refuse slopmachine code.

(I first heard of their policy through Gamers Nexus)
(I'm just some yokel who likes KDE)

[nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt]

@domi apparently "models got real good since the release of Claude 4.5/4.6" or some other bs. Not that they did, but the PR depts are working tirelessly to make sure people are getting dependent on things that literally cost (hundreds of?) billions of dollars to run
