"F*ck that, I'm out," Says Debian Dev After Project Votes to Allow AI Contributions Debian Linux passes resolution to allow AI / LLM contributions in all parts of the project. Tempter tantrums followed.

He should have said "f*ck that, I'm out" when Linus Torvalds said AI contributions are allowed in the Linux kernel. Leaving Debian now but not leaving Linux then proves these actions are nothing but theatre.

>libs use low impact contributions and documentation to infiltrate projects >ai does these better and faster I wonder why they don't like it.

I would allow AI code as long as you can explain it in a code review. If you submit the code, you should be responsible for it.

Adapt or die

...I wonder if those shitting their britches over this are the same types that have been making Debian suck more and more as of late?

LLM use has obvious problems but “fascist” is so unserious. 12 y/o behavior.

it’s just a tool, man 🤷‍♂️

usage isn't the issue, testing the end result after and finding exploits is ... could use AI exactly for that since it can and will find vulnerabilities

When telephone technology was new, many people were resistant to it. They thought it was strange to talk to a box on the wall or a disembodied voice.

People can think whatever they want about AI. I produced working Bochs, VirtioGPU, VboxVideo KMS drivers, pi 500+ with native boot loader for a BSD all within a week. Not vaporware, real working code. To me it's mind-blowing.

I think it is healthy for some distros to reject AI. Having choices makes the Linux space more robust. If only more distros would also reject wokism. I'm happy DHH's Omarchy got a financial shot in the arm, but even there, I wonder if the non-woke space ends up being dominated by one personality.

AI is a good tool for documenting and commenting your old/new code, and it helps with debugging. Besides, if you decide to use AI for coding, it's up to you. But I always recommend (and this is final) never pushing AI code to production that you don't understand.

writing code is my creative outlet reeeeeee

I believe AI code generators are the future. If they finally develop ternary CPUs, the next revolution in computing, it will take AI to generate such operating systems. 128 bit ternary systems with ternary memory will be such a massive leap in computing power that it can’t be ignored. A bunch of woke activists can be ignored by AI.

Watching this vaguely reminds me of the recent episode of "Stuart Fails to Save the Universe". Our protagonists have arrived at a culture where community and sharing is foundational. Then they learn about "mine" and "monogamy" and it doesn't go well:

I'm pretty happy about this. I hope the same person who made Debian leave X is also going to leave. Let these non-contributing angry activists go somewhere else.

Debian approves AI contributions and the loudest pushback is one maintainer threatening to quit, which tracks with how every OS debate ends.

debAIn ?

With AI they won’t need him. The garbage takes out itself.

Lunduke shitposts about this guy even as our resident rage-baiter completely flipped his anti-AI stance the second it became convenient (and @dhh adopted it).

I'm not smart enough to even contribute to the kernel so I won't say shiet

Another self righteous leftist out of here, love to see it

I hope your next project is going to be good

Die debían die

So scared about Linux kernel 7.x I have i3 laptop 16GB RAM. I've run numerous versions Linux on it: Debian, KDE Ubuntu Gnome Manjaro, KDE OpenMandriva, KDE Plasma Was running kernel 6.19 then OS upgraded to kernel 7.03 & terminal freezes, apps stutter
