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@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)

@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

@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.
@tragivictoria @nina_kali_nina organized resistance against such projects, is what i'm thinking of
death threats accomplish nothing -

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...

@domi wanna come visit and talk about it?

@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

@domi actually let me message you in private lol

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'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.)

@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...

Wait a second. Isn't the output of GenAI supposed to be public domain? -

@darkling correct, Rust relies on LLVM :<

Isn't the output of GenAI supposed to be public domain?@kirtai well, maybe, but I'm afraid the courts in the US are going to be on the side of "big tech" if it ever goes to the court again. And even if it is accepted to be public domain, it isn't much better conceptually: the FOSS movement will be mostly destroyed by slop; if a slop machine can strip away the copyright, the copyright is unenforceable

@nina_kali_nina Hmmmm... At this point to avoid using vibecoded projects we might actually need to make my hypotheticals real!
That's sad.
