  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.

Unpopular opinion, but I'm coming to the realization that I don't really care if FOSS projects are experimenting with and leaning into AI. In most cases I am not donating and simply enjoying a product for free. I am no programmer I put trust in their code before, all I can do is continue to do the same. Now, paid software feels different. And I don't mean donations, I mean if Autodesk started pumping out slop (which I don't doubt is happening) then that feels far worse.

Plus, I've gotten an insane amount of utility out of Claude as a regular dude. If I knew what I was doing a little more, I imagine that would feel pretty cool.
