I want this but as a Linux distribution. I don't think I'm asking for much here. I am just asking for the "open source community" to be to the left of Goldman Sachs
My understanding is that Bitwarden and KeePassXC, the two open source password managers, are *both* using random code generators at this point, which is terrifying as those are the exact tools where a small error could have the largest negative impact, and also tools that once you've committed to using it you can't quickly back out if they enter a code quality decline

I would like the answer to this question as well.
When I say "fork every software project containing code by by 'AI code assistants', starting at the commit before the slop is known or believed to have been added, and resume from there", I really do mean every project

@mcc oh no
FoolishOwl@mcc I've been surprised at how little pushback against "AI" code I've seen in major open source projects, but perhaps I shouldn't be. There's the old guard who deliberately muddled the meaning of freedom and encouraged corporate exploitation of open source, and after decades of that, a lot of open source software organizations seem to be fronts for major corporations.
lynn@foolishowl I think part of it is that I don't think it's feasible at this point? Even ignoring how well the honor system will hold up in a world without honor, many hands are there to run a parallel AI-free stack? Even Linux has LLM friendly guidelines now.
