Important XScreenSaver policy update.

25: No contributions built with, or assisted by, LLMs or any kind of "generative AI" tools will be considered. If you didn't bother writing it, I'm not going to bother reading it. XScreenSaver is art by humans for humans.

@jwz Everyone needs to adopt this policy! πŸ˜‰
@jwz fuck yeah. May many follow in these stapes
@jwz of course in the Xscreensaver space if you want machine hallucinations that's what ElectricSheep is for.
@jwz This should be the norm. "But then people will use LLMs and not disclaim it", maybe, but it isn't like those people don't give hints that they don't really know what they are doing.
@qgustavor @jwz the people who say that in earnest are doing nothing more than telling on themselves as being the kind of person who would lie to you if they thought they could get away with it. and yeah, if someone lies about using slop machines, then what you've done is found someone who lies to you, and we don't associate with people who lie to us!
@jwz Extremely reasonable!

@jwz
> If you didn't bother writing it, I'm not going to bother reading it.

It's so fucking ironic that this simple statement of logic is lost upon the masses!!!

@jwz

Jeaahh!

XScreensaver for ever!

@jwz yeah, that's how you do it!

BTW, the newer hacks are awesome, thanks!

@jwz

How you gonna check? The LLM detectors are also utter shit at identifying LLM generated content.

Generative "art" screams scammy plastic look, so at least thats easy.

@jwz way to go! πŸ‘
@jwz I am so glad. I went through all the xscreensavers one by one recently to make a playlist of favourites and I have so much appreciation for the art in the project. LLM contribution would ruin it.
