Fuck AI

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Existing apps are grandfathered in and there are other exceptions, but in general LLM generated code is not permitted on the Linux app store anymore.

Wow. A genuine, bona fide "the other kids are doing it" argument live and in the wild.

Yes. That's how I got into base jumping. But we aren't here to talk about my poor life choices.

I'm not saying they should welcome LLM slop; I'm saying they might be better off containing it and marking it. Not all of it is bad, but just outright refusing it is maybe a bit naïve and short-sighted.

Nah, I think they're right.

Did you read the pr?

It rejects anything that's AI assisted code, documentation or otherwise. Not just vibe coded apps. If flat hub can enforce that, which they won't be able to, because that rejects an entire section of the software industry who uses modern professional tools (do they just ban everyone that uses jetbrain IDEs or visual Studio or visual Studio code with any form of text completion? Which are all ML (AI) based have been long before llms were a thing)?

If they manage to actually enforce that and do that then flat hub is essentially dead.

"All the kids are running off the cliff. There's no point resisting. We should all just run off the cliff."

There's going to be a lot of painful readjustment in coding geek circles when the bubble collapses next year.
