Systemd has denied to revise their policy in regards to AI.

they've also marked evidence that people gave regarding its effectiveness as off-topic, then locked the conversation.

I believe the authors have not understood the weight of the issue. Later this day, I will begin drafting an open letter to Systemd's authors under the Starlight Network umbrella of projects. EDIT: or perhaps I will take a different approach. There's many more issues I want to talk about.

@rexo @alexia I initially just went past that being like "oh, average AI bro comment". Then I went back and saw it was by Lennart Poetterring ​​

@tulpenkiste @alexia @rexo "There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part. You can't even passively take part! And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop! And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it -- that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!"

@rexo @alexia "It has been finding real CVEs in the past weeks, and it's just too good to ignore now."

Even assuming that's true, the dude himself says it's been better for just weeks, at most it would be advisable to just *start considering its viability* for a later decision, not just "yeah whatever let's allow it right now".

Also what about regressions? even openAI had a blunder with GPT-5. You can afford to use a system with regressions for a hobby project, not systemd.
