RhandosThe Jellyfin project started working on a new desktop client. They've deprecated the current Qt-based one and are working on a new CEF-based client.
Opened the new repository and… well fuck, looks like Jellyfin is going down the AI slop route now:
Link to repo: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-desktop
Jellyfin's official stance on "AI" in their LLM development policy (https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/contributing/llm-policies/) is very ambivalent. They’re critical of some aspects but are not outright banning its usage.
The client's main author, Jellyfin co-founder Andrew Rabert, seems to be a Claude fan:

His Linkedin page is full of likes and shares praising "AI". Going down his timeline, there is almost no other topic. Looks like he went full AI bro.
Bruce Simpson, Ph.D.@rhandos Yeah I'd hate to be his underwriter. This is the thing, they keep leaving risk transfer out of the equation. Given how much I've observed LLMs totally mess up now, this is BAAAADDD....

UndeadLeech@rhandos Honestly it checks out that someone who can't be bothered to use a native UI toolkit decides to go all-in on the slop.
The goal was from the start to never put any actual effort in.
