Has it been established whether genAI generated code is eligible for copyright? I’ve banned AI generated code in my open source projects on that basis alone.

I don’t really care if people use AI personally, no ethical consumption under capitalism and all that.

Progressive was always a toothless vague concept. Socialism is the real deal, especially if it comes with a new constitution.

Did El Sayed ever claim to be a socialist? I thought he was openly like a progressive liberal.

Hmm 😒

Bruh how do I get in on this open source funding sheesh

I’ve trusted KDE to maintain my software for a long time. I don’t think they’ll allow themselves to be overrun, and I don’t think its a foregone conclusion that using AI at all will automatically result in the total destruction of a project. The outcome still depends on the people working on it.

That’s fair. As written I think the policy is OK, but I can see how it might be enforced badly in a way that favors time wasters more than AI use does by itself.

i doubt there are many people, outside of a couple of idealists, that think that project policies will have a big impact into something outside the project itself. all of what you say it’s true but it’s a different discussion to have

I think this is the crux of the issue. This organic boycott of AI is understandable, but its a huge waste of energy because it has no effect on the money or political environment.

I’m getting tired of people acting like AI code isn’t insidiously hard to understand and dysfunctional. It’s super useful for random tiny short-lived projects. It’s not useful for ANYTHING that wants long-term maintenance.

This is a reading comprehension problem.

The KDE policy specifically forbids using LLMs to generate PR descriptions and review comments. That means the contributor has to fully understand the changes they’re proposing enough to explain them to another person. The onus of dealing with the LLM is left entirely up to the individual writing the PR.

That said, I personally am uncertain that genAI generated code is eligible for copyright. That’s bigger risk for open source project than AI cooties imo

I use nix extensively and yeah I have to agree. The infrastructure alone is pure hubris and impossibly large. Not sustainable in the slightest. I’m looking into switching my stuff to guix, but they’re extreme purists which comes with its own set of issues.

I’m opting to try and address the issues that the party has from within the party. You don’t have to agree with me or be happy with my decision.

I don’t have any reason to believe that y’all have the chops to build a new party that wouldn’t do the same thing, if only by mistake. Either way, it sucks for everyone involved.

Honestly seems fine to me. I’m not pro-AI by any means, but I am getting tired of people acting like AI code has some special property that makes it impossible for humans to read and understand.

We can’t keep trying to fight national policy issues with club bylaws. Let’s keep trying to stop AI data center construction and maybe we can organize some kind of political party as part of that struggle. A sort of vanguard for the people.

Bourgeois is a class position/relation to the means of production, you are a prole unless you make money with money. Doesn’t matter how much you get paid, its how.
