since people like being obtuse about it and a single sentence wasn't clear enough, we have a more elaborate AI policy now: https://chimera-linux.org/community/#project-ai-policy
it's still succinct (no chatgpt was used to generate it) but should get the idea across

Thoughts on mountains on #mountainmonday.
I wanted to hike the Monte Pelmo, today, after being forced to give up, last week.
I had to cancel again.
The extreme heat is melting the permafrost and the mountain is literally crumbling. It's not safe, now. Another consequence of climate change that breaks my heart.
I then decided to hike another round ring I have been wanting to do since forever: the Mondeval plateau from Toffol.@hiking #hiking #dolomites #dolomiti

is what Palantir sells a fascist grift? yes, they’re very clear about this
if what they sell works at all, what does it do? they’re clear on this too. it targets people that fascist governments intend to kill extralegally. they don’t hide that fact.
that’s Palantir. they don’t do anything other than this.
Mastodon FeedSeriously I can't tell any of these manbabies apart. Some guy gets shot in the face with an arrow and I'm thinking "who the fuck was that" and then 10 minutes later I'm looking at someone else and thinking "wait, didn't he just get shot in the face? Who the fuck is this?"

i now realise that when i said doing dependent types properly for dysfunlang was probably beyond me, i was mistaken.
replicating idris or agda is beyond me, but implementing the sort of thing that would make a good c replacement is actually well within my comfort zone.

I’m pondering a policy change for social.lol/omg.lol, but I’d really like your input on it.
We don’t currently have any rules surrounding sharing AI or generative content here. (We have very little of that content being shared, but there’s some.)
I don’t think outright forbidding it is the right approach. What one person might view as “slop” might be regarded by someone else as the assistive output from an accessibility tool. The lines can be blurry and the use cases aren’t always black and white.
What I’d like to explore is a policy around honest disclosure of generative AI outputs. Forget about whether it’s good or bad or right or wrong — those debates will continue regardless (as they should). But separate from any moral or ethical considerations, the question is: would it be reasonable to ask anyone who shares generative AI outputs to clearly label them as such?
Using a consistent hashtag would take care of disclosure, and would also make it easy for folks to hide that content if they don’t want to see it.
What do you think?

Here's a couple thought experiments:
Would you allow an AI company to make a model trained off your open source licensed work, if the model was guaranteed to be open weights under an MIT-like license, and the training dataset was public?
And
Do you think that the existing licenses of open source work allow this already? (answers may vary by license)

I'm particularly interested in feedback on content. Straightforward, clear, allowing enough space to play, the best examples of code snippets to inspire, etc.?
I'm not going to go source control + contributions just now, please just drop me a public or private message here if you have thoughts, ta!

(Incidentally, I wish there were Free Software / Free Culture licenses that had these kinds of exclusions, there's been a push to make the licenses usage-agnostic but in le Era Of AI we can see how many shortcomings it has. Of course, everyone has a different definition of "things I don't want this used for" and there's bound to be grey areas in what's acceptable and unacceptable use, but there must be some sort of wranglable legalese that points towards the idea of You Can Use My Stuff As Long As It Isn't Fed Into The Slop Machine Or Used To Hurt People)

I'm going to be fiddling with this for a while, I can already sense it.
It sounds like video game boss music and I don't even have a video game with a boss.
So the obvious thing is to develop a whole video game with a dramatic boss just so I have a reason to make this track

Yo, I'm heading up a brand-new community project. 👥
We write code by hand. 🤚🏽⌨️
It's a growing opt-in directory of software developers who write code by hand. When you hear someone tell you “nobody does that” you can point to this and say “well these folks do.”
If you're #ProCraft and care about the future of handcrafted software, please add yourself to the list! I'd love to see this grow to 100s of signatories (I know y'all are out there!) and really send a message.

This does not happen for anything that requires actual executive function, those are just constantly a struggle.
Instead, I usually find that (a) I try a new and healthier habit or stop an old unhealthy one, (b) go back to old habits once the initial motivation wears off, then (c) if I ever try the healthier habits again it is not easier

Interestingly with both Strudel and Godot, I use the engines, struggle for a bit, put them down for a few months, then put them back up and start being able to do the things I used to struggle with.
And then I'm like "how the hell did my brain do that??"

In a series of posts using A.I. images shared on Sunday, Trump uploaded a fake movie poster showing himself saving George Washington at Mount Rushmore, a mocked-up image of a border wall with Canada and various hints he might run again in 2028.
He is batshit crazy and he is the dictator of the largest 3rd world country in the world.
We need change, we are in extreme danger.
