I stopped using startpage earlier this year when they announced they were going down the ai toilet.

argument: it’s ai slop

Linus snr suggested that someone should fork the kernel if they want no ai. Fingers crossed that it happens.

Agreed, I really want to see this for linux distros and desktop environments, the list is far too small, and far too niche at present.

even Linus Torvalds

He made his choice, that doesn’t make him right, regardless of who he is, or who he thinks he is.

ai as it is now, owned by the people who own it, pushed by the people who push it, is the exact opposite of the linux philosophy for me. If I wanted microslop, I would still be using it.

label them as trash

Shouldn’t that just be the default though?

Definitely agree

‘open source’ posts on social media these days appear to predominantly be ai crap

At some stage it is highly likely that will lead to significant government restrictions on open source because ‘unregulated ai’ cannot be trusted, and is always ‘escaping’ and ‘hacking’. The powers that be are already able to manipulate the general populace against open source, they don’t need our help.

What type of people own the ai companies?

What type of people are pushing ai?

What type of people are approving the ‘data centres’?

You can have your opinion ai bro, but that is all it is

Using guns and hydrogen bombs as suggestions of positive progress, then using the word ethical, smh.

open source is going to become a dirty term if this crap isn’t stopped.
