    @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.

      @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 @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

          @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.

            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@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 😕

              @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

              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.

                @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

                          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 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...

                                    @nina_kali_nina right? like it was said to me in a ‘just be chill with AI’ context, but it's genuinely not a bad idea, we could fork g-b-m and have ‘GNOME OS’ build that just never updates harfbuzz or whatever else turns to slop

                                    if only one had the resources to do it

                                        @nina_kali_nina I've been writing an OS (just for the hell of it), and now I'm worrying about the fact that it's written in Rust, just in case.

                                        I don't think I could write a Rust compiler, but I could probably write a really bad C compiler.

                                        (In fact, doesn't rust rely on LLVM, which is highlighted in your images? Fuck.)

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

                                          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 I can't wait for MAFIAA to join forces with these GenAI providers to make it so that copyright legislation is bent enough to allow this kind of usage, but only if it involves a registered GenAI big-player or the like.

                                          *sigh* I'd say I may be getting too cynical except that in this case I'm quite sure this is how it will unfold, at least in the short term...
