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.

rsync is thirty years old. It has been mature and reliable. But now we're victim-blaming someone that hasn't (yet) cleaned up somebody else's mess?
It's FOSS, the author doesn't owe you anything.
That's quite a strawman you've framed, or at best a non sequitur.
