    @nina_kali_nina it's ridiculous how slop machines are spreading into everything. we really need a unified resistance against it, not just with programmers, but also with artists, writers, translators, etc

    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.

      @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.

      @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.

        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.

        @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 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.

              And if that wasn't bad enough, Mozilla has embraced AI (in its code, too), while Linux considers relaxing AI code policy and has some examples of patches co-authored by LLMs.

              I am still yet to think hard about what I want to do about it. But the world I knew is no more.

              @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

                @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 @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

                          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 😕

                              @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

                                        @nina_kali_nina it's been suggested I should start a custom distro which will then increasingly ‘lag behind’

                                        if being ‘current’ means dealing with this nonsense, I'm fine with being behind, actually

                                          @zbrown tbh maybe it's not a bad idea, but then maybe it makes more sense to focus on OSes that are explicitly anti-LLM, like NetBSD...
