Dang I’m over here still waiting for actual AI to show up. This must me some of that 5D stuff we’ve heard about.

LLM code is not workable for widespread adoption, but for individual use cases it can do a lot of interesting things!

And Lina Khan is in NYC now!

Agreed!

This is the wrong question to be asking. “Is the code good” is literally all that matters when writing software that others will use. Slop is slop no matter if it comes from a person or an LLM. A human should be reviewing all code.

Oof yeah I always feel bad for the folks that see the crazy freestyle runway shows and think they’re being clever by recognizing how impractical the costumes are.

Honestly I think the real takeaway is how much media was already just slop used to sell ads to begin with.

This has to be the first time in history that the memes were wrong

I’m not against LLM generated code in FOSS but it’s nice to see a dev holding the line. There are a million distros to choose from, at least one needs to be 100% certified meat.

“Astroturfed” implies an appearance of a grassroots campaign, here the dev has connections to wealthy people who give him money, that’s really all there is to it.

I think the dev just has connections and the people donating don’t understand what they’re giving too.

Yeah but even then, it’s an extremely niche distro and 99.9% of Linux users using a password manager service are using bitwarden/vaultwarden. It just doesn’t make sense.

That stood out to me too. It comes preinstalled with Omarchy so thats something but also Omarchy has like, a thousand daily active users so even that doesn’t sit right.

I’m no fan of slop but I’m not going to stab myself in the eyes to avoid looking at it. That’s what the slop wants me to do.

You are giving slop WAY too much power over your life, imo. Avoiding Linux entirely because you might accidentally touch some generated code is pathology.

What does that have to do with slop?

Please stop hyping up the power of text generators. LLMs aren’t predators with will of their own, they only have as much power as we are willing to cede to them.

The more afraid we are of slop doing something other than just being slop, the more power we are giving the companies (which are harmful) to actually control us. Don’t help them.

The hard question becomes is it better for Linux (where anyone can contribute labor) to get the attention and donations or for commercial software where only nonhuman corporations benefit.

Small instances are best. I just wish the big instances didn’t have most of the communities.
