If people install AI software onto their computer I want it to delete absolutely everything they ever did so they have to start over from scratch without AI.

A college instructor I know sent me photos of a notebook a student left in class. The student had scrawled "AI IS SATAN!!!" multiple times.
Yes, "AI IS SATAN!!!"

RE: #NoAI

Sometimes I do wonder if the only ethical thing let to do is to delete all your projects, and do your best to have them disappear from public space. Of course, that won't stop people from making your complicit in their acts of planetary destruction entirely, but at least you're trying…
And that's coming from me, a person who considers destroying knowledge and craft an unthinkable crime.

When someone wants to add an #LLM scraping tool into #Gentoo.
Yes, the kind of shit that's designed to work around all the scraping protections, mask itself and DDoS Gentoo. I mean, technically I don't think that violates any rules but seriously…

Keep the pressure on. When we complain, push back, reject, and just say no to companies, orgs, projects, from doing AI related things, it gives them pause... they need to determine if they are alienating enough of their users, customers, audience to have an effect.
If there is a announcement about some AI thing, let them know you hate it.

Tech companies seem to be running a cycle:
1. They don't realize how much they're relying on volunteer-maintained projects.
2. Something bad happens and they suddenly decide they need to support this critical infrastructure, often by hiring some people behind it and making its maintenance part of their dayjob.
3. They realize they could save money by exploiting volunteers to maintain these #OpenSource projects. They lay workers off or move them to other projects.
4. Go to 1.
Except now they're trying to replace workers with slop machines, deskill everyone and basically they're not only poisoning the well, but killing the whole water cycle. And they're realizing that they just gave the bad people a tool that can quickly find just how vulnerable their critical infrastructure is.
Really appreciate the long-term thinking there.

Do you remember the good old days when people who couldn't do basic HTML, used a WYSIWYG editor to create a website, rather than asking a slop machine to spit random HTML for them?

Your performance plummeted because AI data centres are shutting down due to extreme heat.
My performance plummeted because I'm melting.

Human translators manage good #translation because they comprehend the original text, know its intricacies and can actually creatively write to preserve its gist. Context is more than the surrounding paragraphs: it includes the cultural and social background, other books, etc. Sometimes it literally involves getting hints from the author. And in the end, it is deeply personal. It can't be "accurate", because no two people are the same, and no two languages map 1:1 (though the interpretation will also differ between different users of the same language); the best you can do is add translator's notes.
LLM translators manage good translation because they've been fed tons of human translation work, and quite often they manage to match an original human translation and plagiarize it. They may even seem better because they seem to manage it without sufficient context, but that's only because they've found a human translation that had that context already.
Or, well, technically they can also regurgitate something that makes sense only in the irrelevant original context.

There's a new meat eating hype. Meat companies are telling everyone people would have more energy if they only ate more meat. Employers are getting huge meat lunches for their employees and expecting a productivity boost. Against their better judgement, employees are stuffing themselves with loads of meat and struggling to work. But eventually, they figure out how to eat more and be more productive. In the meantime, a lot of people (including meat eaters) are crying over the obvious climate and health harm, both from increased meat consumption and from increased waste as people throw away even more food.
Meat eaters now put up a big banners of what meat they like, and invite others to join them with meat. More people are becoming vocally vegan, or at least trying to limit their meat consumption. Some also put "vegan" or even more aggressive "no meat allowed" signs.
Some meat eaters think it's fine to bring offering of meat to a stranger if they didn't put up an explicit "vegan" sign yet. "I won't get offensed, I'll just throw it in the trash", they say. Some go even further and try to trick you by saying it's actually a vegan meat-lookalike.

Even Meshtastic has been infected. There is some slop-sucker in Milwaukee who created an AI bot that is on the mesh.
Locals are talking about how to ban it, the issue of censorship, future improvements to apps, etc.
Anyone else seeing spam (or AI) on the mesh?

Of course, we have it.
Now someone's commenting on my big blog post, agreeing with its points and at the same leaving link to a website about "AI Text Tools & Writing Assistants".

Every now and then someone brings up #EffectiveAltruism, #TESCREAL, #RokosBasilisk, #Rationalism, or some other #Musk related nonsense. I ridicule it, or laugh, and move on. The whole evil god of Roko's Basilisk is so silly it doesn't feel worth writing about. But people started a whole cult over it and killed a bunch of people.
Since then I've been meaning to actually spend time tearing it down. So I think it's time to go kill a god. Fortunately it involves making fun of Elon Musk specifically and all the #AI-pilled #TechBros more generally, so that's nice I guess.
Also, I make the argument that we're all in a simulation that only exists to torture Elon Musk.

Seriously, when I created the GURU project for #Gentoo, I wanted it to be the place where Gentoo users work together on #packaging. What I definitely didn't want it to be: a drive-by stop for vibe-coders to promote their crap.

All these talks of "#AI achieved in a day what used to take a month" make me recall how a certain Polish person (known for the usual post-WW2 abstract hatred for Germans) noted how many great highways were built by the Nazi Germany. I think this needs no further comment.

Congratulations. Now I'm actively worried to open a PR fixing my issue, because there's already been a few #slop PRs opened attempting to fix it. And I'm literally worried that mine would be taken as another slop PR…

In the era of #LLM psychosis, it's important to emphasize that it is fine to talk to yourself.
Your own brain is entirely capable of being a sounding board. It can provide a second and a third opinion. It can look at things from another person's perspective. It can simulate complete complex interactions. And it can do all that in the privacy of your own head, with no extra energy cost. And it can give you a deeper understanding of yourself.
You don't need chatbots for that. You don't need to lean on their nazi owners. You don't need to pay for them, you don't need to share the intimate details of your life, you don't need to burn the planet in the process. You won't get hurt accidentally, you won't get abused or blackmailed. And your brain won't leave you helpless when someone suddenly decides helping you isn't profitable.

Okay, I'll give you that: LLMs aren't the root of the problem.
Capitalism is. The idea of infinite growth. The idea that people can't just live, they must with 40 hours a week to justify their existence, and they must be purchasing something all the time. Companies must keep selling new stuff. All the resources must be tapped into and exploited.
And companies are making software. They must keep selling new features and pointless complete redesigns nobody wanted. The code must keep being churned over and over again. Programmers must justify their existence by churning out absurd amounts of meaningless code. The companies must exploit them.
Then, companies are entering the #OpenSource "market". They are acquiring and enshittifying. They are hiring and exploiting. And then so many volunteers just jump on the bandwagon and keep cosplaying them. And they too churn out useless code, "sell" pointless complete makeovers, "profit" off their users (even if they actually aren't making any real profit).
And then come LLMs, perfect tools for the job. Perfect tools for exploitation, for churning out useless code, for creating addiction, and for turning everyone into mindless corpospeak bullshit machines.

Okay, so apparently there's been some "scuffle" between a cyclist and an old lady. The police's looking for the cyclist now, and shared a camera footage looking for help in finding them. Except that the footage is such a low resolution it's practically useless.
So helpful people from the internets used "#AI" to enhance it. So now we're looking at an angry mob looking for a person whose face was generated by an #LLM. Or well, multiple independently generated different faces apparently, but would that stop a mob from lynching a random person?
This fucking crap needs to be outlawed immediately. And whoever's selling it should end up behind bars.

The bright #LLM future, next part.
git.gentoo.org is now effectively dead, being DDoS-ed by almost a million different IPs every day. Most of them are just performing a single request at a totally random URL. How are people supposed to deal with that? How can we distinguish a legitimate user who hit some URL from a scraper that distributes its operations over thousands of IP addresses?
If you use LLM crap, you're part of the problem. You support these bastards. You should be ashamed of yourself.

When you're building software aimed at a niche related to hype, the only thing you can do is hook people onto it. I mean, you're targeting the kind people who have an attention span of a fruit fly. Unless they're literally addicted to your software, they're going to forget it as soon as they notice the next shiny thing.

Given these days you can't even expect #Gentoo contributors to be respectable, I'm working on adding a git hook that rejects commits with #LLM attribution. Could you help me find all the common patterns used to mark LLM-assisted #git commits?
So far I'm checking for author and Co-authored-by using the following e-mail patterns:
• copilot@github.com
• *@anthropic.com
• claude@users.noreply.github.com
• * claude[bot]@users.noreply.github.com
• *@openai.com
• * chatgpt-codex-connector[bot]@users.noreply.github.com
• *@cursor.com
• *@x.ai
• *@google.com
I think some people came up with some other tags to mark LLM commits but can't find that right now.
EDIT: added Assisted-by.

Oh, great. I'm sure it's great idea to boil oceans in order to have some random bullshit machine repeat what I said in the description. And also add a bullshit suggestion with bullshit explanation that's plain wrong.

So when #Anthropic can't buy #GNU Toolchain project wholesome, it can always buy its developers.
Oh wait, this mail that starts with Anthropic marketing bullshit is not "an endorsement of Anthropic". And you're not permitted to criticize him.
