This is something I've been thinking about recently: Despite software eating the world and despite the economies of entire countries now being dependent GPUs, I don't think technologists are more important than other people.

I think a lot of programmers think this implicitly. This attitude of self-importance is baked in to our industries.

If we want to claim self-importance and usage of resources and dumping of externalities onto other people, we need to justify this to society. The way that a lot of programmers are behaving as we keep going into this AI age is going to make us pariahs. Rightly.

While CEO's see "AI" as the tool to ensure they no longer have to pay people or depend on them, many workers adopting "AI" get taught through that use that skills they don't have/other professions are worth less.
This destruction of worker solidarity and interdisciplinary collaboration is a core function of the "AI" discourse.

@ambiguous_yelp They proudly tooted about starting LLM reviews the day before yesterday. That caused an outrage because why use GrapheneOS at all if you don't care about security?! Can't point you to it because I'm blocked. Can anyone else help?

The new Dyson toothbrush features 160 lines of code for each pixel of its camera!

If that is not progression, I don't know what is.

"That's 0.1 megapixels in more typical camera terminology, which may seem like a very small number, but it's certainly supplemented by some algorithmic effort. More specifically, 16 million lines of code and "a machine learning system trained on 470,000 dental images collected during development" are behind the computer vision targeting here."

My job now forces me to use LLMs, so I'm looking for an engineering team to join that still remembers how to write code.

Dear Fedi friends,

I'd like to put together a list of people who are publicly resisting / calling out LLMs and AI slop.

Why? I enjoy reading my Fediverse feed in topical lists and I need something to counteract the unrelenting AI hype I see in the media.

Do you have any recommendations?

So far, at the top of my list I have:

@timnitGebru @emilymbender and @alexhanna of @DAIR

plus @cwebber @jaredwhite and @tante

Anyone else to recommend who advocates for #NoAI?

The Linux mainline kernel itself contains AI code now. It's officially allowed as long as it's disclosed as such. Thus, you will have to avoid literally all servers running on Linux.

https://docs.kernel.org/process/coding-assistants.html

https://www.neowin.net/news/linus-torvalds-declares-massive-ai-fueled-code-surges-as-the-new-normal-for-linux/

NetBSD has very strict rules regarding AI-generated code. But it doesn't rule AI-generated code out out of principle because it's AI-generated; it only wants to be safe that nothing that's actually GPL-licensed is slipped in. So, if you're an 100%, ultra-hardcode anti-AI extremist, avoid what few servers run on NetBSD.

https://www.netbsd.org/developers/commit-guidelines.html

OpenBSD contains AI-generated code, too. And it has no official stance regarding it. So servers running on OpenBSD are taboo, too.

https://www.osnews.com/story/144935/openbsd-and-slopcode-raindrop-to-a-torrent/

FreeBSD has no stance on AI whatsoever that I could find. However, apparently, the FreeBSD community loves to integrate Claude Code into their systems for automation purposes:

https://aumont.fr/posts/claude-code-freebsd/

https://discoverbsd.com/p/8a7660c31b

But you'll also have to look at the userland, the Web server, the database driver etc.

MariaDB allows AI code. You can safely assume that all MySQL databases on Web servers out there are actually powered by MariaDB.

https://mariadb.org/governance/governance-ai-policy/

Oracle MySQL can integrate AI, so it's safe to assume it contains AI-generated code.

https://blogs.oracle.com/mysql/announcing-mysql-ai

PostgreSQL probably allows AI code, too. There are even tools for it.

https://github.com/timescale/pg-aiguide

SQLite is very popular amongst AI users while not having any rules on AI-generated code. Assume it to be tainted.

This leaves you with only one choice: Self-hosting a personal, single-user snac2 server because snac2 doesn't need any database whatsoever. In fact, snac2 is staunchly against AI. And it runs on NetBSD.

https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2

But then there's the Web server. Apache may allow AI-generated code if it has been reviewed and made sure that it does not contain anything that's incompatible with the Apache-2.0 license.

https://www.apache.org/legal/generative-tooling.html

nginx welcomes AI and advertises itself as ready for AI, and it takes no anti-AI-code stance. It's most likely already tainted.

https://www.f5.com/de_de/products/nginx.

This basically leaves you with no Web server guaranteed to be 100% free from AI-generated code to run snac2 on. But that doesn't matter because it's impossible to build a Web server devoid of any AI code to install snac2 on.

By the way: Mastodon itself explicitly allows AI code if it's disclosed as such, and if its contributor understands it.

https://github.com/mastodon/.github/blob/main/AI_POLICY.md

In other words, next to all Mastodon servers are running

• AI-generated Mastodon code
• on an AI-generated Web server
• with an AI-generated database driver
• on an AI-generated operating system kernel

I'm dismayed that the three systems and communities I love the most, Debian, FreeBSD, and Slackware, are falling into the trap we might call "Uncanny Valley as a Service".

Debian has their pro-slop policy now, and FreeBSD and Slackware both have influential developers who are pro-slop. FreeBSD is shooting for a "balanced" policy - but how do you balance the copyright and license violations, the cognitive harm, and the climate impact against a dubious "convenience?" And I don't expect Slackware will say anything formal.

I'm hoping I can rekindle my fondness for NetBSD, and I've probably got Gentoo in my future for desktops. I know I can live with NetBSD and if I set up a local binary build server I can minimize the energy cost of having to compile everything for Gentoo. (Maybe if I figure out the implications of the USE flags from default/linux/amd64/23.0/desktop/gnome that'll end up being reasonable. I'm not a G.N.O.M.E. user. See https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Gentoo_binhost/Available_packages_and_configurations )

If you're ever faced with "having to use AI" may I suggest this simple trick:

D-Nai!

D-Nai stands for
D-Nai is
Not
AI

You just don't use AI and do something else instead. Every. Time.

#DNAI #LLMMeAlone #NoAI #NeverSlop

Every post/reply about AI you write should come with a link to a reminder that LLMs:
- Are for-profit plagiarism machines that have cannibalized the internet
- Come at a serious human and environmental cost
- Can't be trusted and create real IP problems, AND
- Can make you dumber if you stop thinking for yourself

Well, fuck. After more than 30 years of using Linux, it seems the days of me running Linux are numbered and I will be moving to a different option. An option that I started working on a few months back.

As a user of Debian for many, many years, I am seriously disappointed with this decision. I had higher hopes that Debian, out of all of the Linux projects out there, would be more responsible and understand the negative ethical issues of using AI. It seems I was wrong.

I’m taking these to @cebulacamp all money go to:

1. printing this issue,
2. printing future issues,
3. building my ego.

You can also buy it online here: https://ko-fi.com/s/0850ff2a1d .

You can also bootleg it if you don’t want to give me money, it’s CC0.

You can read it online if you don’t have money, it’s free: https://kamiokan.de/entropysrotoscope/issue1 .

You can now buy a printed version of Entropy’s Rotoscope #1, available in A4 and A5 format.

Get it either on ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/s/0850ff2a1d or send an email to eigengrau <at> kamiokan <dot> de or just meet me on some event, I will take these to cebula camp and c3 (by c3 I hopefully will also bring issue 2).
