WELP I can no longer say that #FreeBSD's draft policy on LLM code contributions was leaning towards #NetBSD's way of thinking of banning the slop code entirely. I was going off what was said at last year's BSDCan.

Apparently it's shifted since then. https://reviews.freebsd.org/differential/changeset/?ref=1487182

Hopefully it shifts back, before it's finalized. I feel a bit crushed. I've been talking about that prior draft policy as a positive indicator for months. Im realizing I had pinned a lot of hope on it.

I've been trying REALLY hard to stay away from software with LLM generated code. (sigh). Ive dived back into FreeBSD hard after many years away, and have even been trying to contribute some stuff to ports.

I guess if this goes south, ill be re-evaluating things. Maybe NetBSD? Though I know it's missing some things from pkgsrc that will hurt to do without. #bsd

@trashheap OpenBSD has explicitly said no to LLMs.
@RootMoose You got a link? Not that I don't believe you, but they havent made it onto a bunch of lists for folks cataloging that stuff.
@trashheap There was a thread on mastodon... 2-3 days ago? I'll try to find it later.

@trashheap Sorry, not really "official" per se but seems fairly definitive for now.
