From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Cited from the article:

[...] the Void Linux project does have a contributing policy over AI usage that reads:

"In this section, "AI" refers to generative artificial intelligence tools, including Large Language Models and similar technologies.

All contributions are expected to be made by humans. AI tools may be used for research and learning, but all content in contributions must originate from and be understood by the contributor. This includes code, documentation, issues, security reports, pull request descriptions, and comments in all Void Linux community spaces.

ALL usage of AI tools MUST be disclosed.

Do not bring AI review tools into pull requests.

Usage of AI-powered human-language translation tools is acceptable to facilitate contributions across language barriers."

You argue that it is not possible to keep up such rules.

Do we need to live in a police state to keep people from stealing?

do we have to be burdened by western existential narratives vis a vis Orwellianism that don't scale? seemingly, yes! society seemingly doesn't scale gracefully ... though China looks better-adapted to present reality

You are absolutely right about Sartre. Some bad nights I dream I am talking with confused bots, and can't exit by switching off the box.

then it's probably good for you that you're not bothering to wake up.
