systemd goes AI agent slopware https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/c1d4d5fd9ae56dc07377ef63417f461a0f4a4346/AGENTS.md

has slop documentation now too

One more reason to use Guix + Shepherd!
@cwebber Will GNU Guix be able to keep LLMs out of Shepherd and Hurd? I'm also worried about the Linux kernel potentially slopifying.
@skyfaller Linux already is slopifying
Re: [PATCH 0/4 gnumach] Working SMP 64b

@ytvwld @cwebber Yes, this is what I was looking for but I couldn't find the reference, looks like slop is infecting Guix-adjacent projects already.

EDIT: Guix is not responsible for Hurd, my mistake. Still concerning if GNU Guix soon won't have a kernel option that isn't slopified.

@skyfaller @ytvwld Hurd is not Guix, but is one of the kernel options available for Guix.

@civodul has loosely floated the idea on here of having a "no AI codegen contributions in Guix" policy (and I think that should extend to the Shepherd). I'm for it.

@skyfaller @ytvwld @civodul I think an easier option: a one year moritorium on AI based contributions, while what that means shakes out, set to be re-evaluated.

@cwebber @ytvwld @civodul I can see how a one year moratorium might be politically easier, but I fear it would just mean I spend a lot of effort moving my systems to Guix, only for it to immediately slopify at the end of the year so I have to move everything again. I'd rather have more confidence in my time/effort investment.

In the absence of a clear line I would probably explore other distros that have more solid stances.

@skyfaller it does not look like you will be able to run a computer without LLM generated code soon. especially when you want to do things with it (like playing games on Steam or using Davinci Resolve)

what positive impact does it have when you stop using linux and systemd? and in practice, your experience will probably be a lot worse when you use niche and less mature software like BSD and GUIX with Hurd and Shepherd

that seem not to bring freedom and empowerment

@cwebber @ytvwld @civodul

@davidak @skyfaller @cwebber @ytvwld @civodul I don't use systemd yet I get a good experience
Take a look at Chimera (especially KDE) and come back to me once you found a groundbreaking issue that hinders Chimera's maturity and stability

@stilic Chimera uses Linux, which has also LLM generated code

so it wouldn't be an option for someone not wanting that

@davidak I don't see how that matters if someone can **only** use Linux and nothing else
No one said they want to get rid of *everything* that has LLM-generated code
Most of us are already doing our best to reduce the amount of software we use that has this kind of stuff
@davidak It's pointless to point out that, we aren't all obsessed with this issue
