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.

Linux kernel hits the accelerator pedal on genAI slop (lore.kernel.org)

A few days after Micro$lop announced they're using AI to develop Windows, PCs with Win11 started to have a bug, where the screen goes black (usually no signal), then the GUI slowly crawls back to be visible one-by-one. I wonder what kind of Linux equivalent we will have.

Switch to FreeBSD.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 21 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Too popular, it'll get AI slop eventually too.

We're gonna have to gird our loins for TempleOS

[–] zbyte64@awful.systems 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

TempleOS generates random words with a fraction of the energy use of LLMs. The feature is called godspeak.

[–] ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 2 points 6 days ago

Redox OS and Haiku are promising alternatives that reject AI code.

Oh boy. NetBSD! GNU Hurd!

[–] lime@feddit.nu 4 points 6 days ago (3 children)

sorry, all the bsd's are on the list and HURD might actually need it to get anywhere...

2. Do not commit tainted code to the repository.

[…]
Code generated by a large language model or similar technology, such as GitHub/Microsoft's Copilot, OpenAI's ChatGPT, or Facebook/Meta's Code Llama, is presumed to be tainted code, and must not be committed without prior written approval by core.

As in, not your code, disavowed.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

which one is that?

[–] waltersf@bookwyr.me 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

NetBSD. They are very explicit LLMs are tainted code, and will not be included.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 1 points 3 days ago

ah, looks like they haven't looked too deeply at that one since it's marked "help wanted". i think their criteria is stricter than just "is there ai code in it", they're looking at things like code review too.

[–] mrnngglry@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Time to give up computing!

[–] lime@feddit.nu 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

there's always 9front

[–] LostWanderer@fedia.io 2 points 6 days ago

Huh, I found some useful alternatives on that list in case I needed a hardened anti-AI distro. Garuda Linux, they do not use AI at the moment but they also don't have a firm policy yet either. Thankfully, they haven't made this list, which is a good thing as most of them are pretty annoyed with AI. There are only some slop herders in the ranks but they seem to use it for personal stuff.

[–] racketlauncher831@lemmy.ml 7 points 6 days ago

Switch to NetBSD instead, please.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I love this "A is imperfect so switch your entire existence to B" kind of answer that provides no value.

[–] mrnngglry@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

lol it wasn’t meant to be serious advice. I am not a fan of any of the BSDs on the desktop. I am a happy Fedora user. Linus and the kernel team made their stance on AI clear. We aren’t going to change that. If it gets to the point where it is worse than the alternatives, as a result of AI, I will look elsewhere. Until then, it works.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

So you'll stick around until you're (possibly the first person you've heard about) affected by a (potentially serious, as in data loss) bug?

[–] mrnngglry@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Maybe! There have always been bugs. I didn’t jump ship any of those times. What matters most is how it compares to the alternatives. What are your plans?

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Fair enough 👍
