AGI isn't coming. While the tech bros make wonderous claims about the abilities of their products, the tiny technical details of their offering show a completely different picture.

Sigh... Authentik has added an AGENTS.md file to their repo ๐ญ
thankfully my terminal emulator of choice, alacritty, has an anti-llm policy!
My favorite editor helix sadly does not, and it appears to be infested as well :(
Moving on to shells, I've tried both DankMaterialLinux and Noctalia and they are both very nice, but both are sadly also LLM-infested. Out they go.
I have used Niri for quite some time and I love it so much. Every update YaLTeR has released has been pure fire.
Sadly it looks like LLM-assisted code and code reviews have seeped in since sometime after version 25.05.1.
Looking through the repo it doesn't exactly look like YaLTeR has embraced AI himself, but rather that contributors are using it. YaLTeR has pushed back on PRs that look like AI have taken the driver seat, so maybe I can dare hold on to hope that Niri might adopt an anti LLM policy?
There is a suggestion for this in the discussion section...

What do do... I could pin 25.05.1 but then I'd miss out on tons of nice features.
I was curious how AI/LLM free I could make my daily driver so I started to look through the repos of projects I use and... oh boy.

My first objective was to get rid of systemd, a long time annoyance for reasons unrelated. They have embraced AI and they did that age verification preparation nonsense.
Gentoo has an anti-LLM policy, and offers OpenRC as an option over systemd.
It took a few tries to get things right but now it looks stable enough. Love the binpgs option.
On to my window manager...
