@davidgerard + the irony of the anti-bot page when first accessing this link! 😆

@davidgerard
I (not a lawyer) will claim that this is against the EU's AI Act, as there all slop-generated text should be marked as slop-generated.

@davidgerard Might as well go to TempleOS if we are doing faith based development

@davidgerard ITT: not a single person on fedi read any of the responses in the massive thread lol

Also for context: someone made this patch without discussion. There will be discussion. Reading the thread (click next at the bottom) is important before having an emotional response.

@davidgerard a reasonable conclusion seems to be that unless explicitly stated otherwise, assume by default that it was probably assisted by some LLM.

@davidgerard What I don’t understand is why this seems to be the only place the kernel is willing to embrace anything modern. I mean, there was a maintainers’ revolt over Rust and development still happens over email with format-patch, but LLMs come in and suddenly it’s all about accepting the future of software development.

@davidgerard Final straw for me. I am, as Emperor Penguin suggested, "forking off"...to NetBSD.

@davidgerard I have always perceived these footnotes and tags as free advertisement for multi billion dollar corporations that already make the news every other day with new bullshit hacks and mishaps because plastering the company name across everything there is is the only thing that matters, they want to be everywhere all the time. Therefore I'm happy with less ad spam, in particular due to the unenforcable, voluntary nature of these tags, a generic "assisted by: LLM" would be kinda useless.

@davidgerard if not for explicites audit reason, there is no need to have it. Who commit is the owner and responsible.

@davidgerard@circumstances.run Sorry, I can't read it, I have thrown all of my computers into the sea and never wish to touch one again.

@davidgerard And as things get less and less stable, they'll deny it being down to the slop code. Comments sections will be packed with slopbros going 'Nuh huh, you have no way to know it was down to AI, you're just guessing! Correlation is not causation! Checkmate, luddites!'

@davidgerard Problem solved ✨️

@davidgerard

I am really baffled by the speed of how fast this project goes down the shitter 😥

@davidgerard "We didn't need the thermometer anyway."

@davidgerard That will make it tricky once all LLM assisted content is ruled as copyright infringement and needs to be stripped out.
