My desire to use Mastodon is basically at zero now because post-"Claude", hanging out here means inevitably I'm going to have a conversation with someone who tolerates, or even uses, "generative AI". And what's the point of being in a community where that's a risk. Interestingly* there is absolutely no chance of this on Bluesky, because there are artists there

* And oddly, given how "AI"-brained the *admins* there are

No longer interested in talking about open source unless the conversation starts with how to build an alternate open source community without "AI code assistant" users contributing to it

@mcc Sadly the Copilot monster came to #FreeBSD on GitHub last week.

@bms48 @mcc Wait, how did copilot "come" to FreeBSD ?

@trashheap @mcc The LLM-driven entity is submitting AI slop bug reports and "reviews".

@bms48 @mcc Ewww...

Last I heard FreeBSD was working on a draft policy. that was leaning towards actually banning LLM code. (This was discussed at BSDCan last year). That hasn't changed has it?

@trashheap @bms48 last I heard netbsd had done this but don't cite me

@mcc @trashheap @bms48 last summer FreeBSD leaned strongly towards no (see https://reviews.freebsd.org/D50650 ), but the more recent "accepted" change is weaker (see https://reviews.freebsd.org/D54817 ). I don't like the weasel words in the newer proposal, and the proposed "developer's guide" doc (which you have to be logged in to see) is overlong and makes it too easy to miss the actual point.

@fedward @bms48 @mcc WELL fuck me.

@trashheap @bms48 @mcc yeah, I think "I considered it and decided I didn't care" is going to happen a lot if that policy goes into place. But the proposed change currently depends on a proposed doc that hasn't been approved, so maybe other people will agree with me that it's a shitty proposed policy and just decide not to accept it.

@fedward @bms48 @mcc Here is hoping.
