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 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

(I first heard of their policy through Gamers Nexus)
(I'm just some yokel who likes KDE)
@moses_izumi @lumi nod nod, I've tried *BSD recently after a long pause, maybe I should double down on it, too
FreeBSD policy: AI-generated source code ? No, thanks!

The FreeBSD Core Team has issued a clear rejection of LLM-based source code contributions. It is thus following other open source projects.
