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.
Slop can only create slop.
The Maintainers Summit reached consensus to deprecate the Assisted-by tag. Remove the documentation requiring it.

Too popular, it’ll get AI slop eventually too.
We’re gonna have to gird our loins for TempleOS
Redox OS and Haiku are promising alternatives that reject AI code.
TempleOS generates random words with a fraction of the energy use of LLMs. The feature is called godspeak.
Oh boy. NetBSD! GNU Hurd!
sorry, all the bsd’s are on the list and HURD might actually need it to get anywhere…
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.
Time to give up computing!
there’s always 9front
Strong
Switch to NetBSD instead, please.

Yeah AI in open source is probably the least negative thing about AI can’t count how many tickets are still open and they are not even that hard to deal with AI seems suitable for the job imo
