Shun the technology and lose out on growth feel the JOMO (Joy of Missing Out).

There, fixed it for you.

Whatever’s the outcome, the anthropomorphization in that message stinks 🤮

I think this bit makes it clear that shipping LLM code from the kernel that wasn’t contributed by Gentoo is fine:

This policy affects Gentoo contributions and the official Gentoo projects. It does not prohibit adding packages for AI-related software or software that is being developed with the help of such tools upstream.

Alright, what are the alternatives folks?

Gentoo? Gentoo!

(But I’ll keep watch to see of they don’t revert course because “the models are now too powerful”, since it is a policy from 2024)

The policy

Gentoo Council has voted on 2024-04-14 on the following policy:

It is expressly forbidden to contribute to Gentoo any content that has been created with the assistance of Natural Language Processing artificial intelligence tools. This motion can be revisited, should a case be made for such a tool that does not pose copyright, ethical and quality concerns.

This policy affects Gentoo contributions and the official Gentoo projects. It does not prohibit adding packages for AI-related software or software that is being developed with the help of such tools upstream.

One shouldn’t talk about Omarchy and/or DHH and not bring up fascism (among other issues, but let’s stay focused), self-professed: https://world.hey.com/dhh/three-sacred-cows-that-must-die-so-europe-can-live-1afb203d

At least one Arch maintainer says Arch won’t be associated with them and calls Omarchy “just vibe-coded dotfiles and bash scripts”: https://floss.social/@serebit/117162401397324439

Funny how the “Top Economist” just parroted what Ed Zitron, also quoted on the piece, has been harping on, since… checks notes always.

Edit: Zitron, the name. Not Zitrone, The German word for lemon.

That ough to be one of the laziest genAI slop images for a “Chinese router with a backdoor”.

Damn, it’s bad.

Is that channel really his?

Couldn’t (quickly) find a reference to it.

What a choice of words… 🤦 Deliberate? “Better”? How about “worse” instead?

I think that this would be too rational and scientific to cause an irrational market to correct.

I’m leaning more towards a money related confirmation. Maybe an OpenAI or Anthropic internal shared numbers.

Or, one of the four horsemen of the AIpocalypse?

ACCESS_WIFI_STATE, ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION, ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION, FOREGROUND_SERVICE_LOCATION

Optionally used for stopping Syncthing unless connected to specific Wi-Fi networks.

And location isn’t a permission granted by default on install (unlike Internet access), the user has to approve of it explicitly.

Nice!

This is an implementation of rsync with a BSD (ISC) license. It’s compatible with a modern rsync (3.1.3 is used for testing, but any supporting protocol 27 will do), but accepts only a subset of rsync’s command-line arguments.

But also:

The actual work of porting is matching the security features provided by OpenBSD’s pledge(2) and unveil(2). These are critical elements to the functionality of the system. Without them, your system accepts arbitrary data from the public network.

rsync has specific running modes for the super-user. It also pumps arbitrary data from the network onto your file-system. openrsync is about 10 000 lines of C code: do you trust me not to make mistakes?
