       It's like finding out the open source community's got black mold

       @mcc I love you but I hate that I immediately knew what you meant

       @rmi @mcc I have no idea (also didn’t see news today or something).

       @mcc It's disheartening to see how many maintainers have fallen for AI. But on the other hand it's good to see that there's a decent amount of pushback as well. That gives some hope that this isn't the end. Best case scenario: We end up with a FOSS community that got rid of its problematic leaders, is more aware and critical of power dynamics and more focused on building good software instead of chasing whatever Silicon Valley is doing rn.

       @lu_leipzig So far pushback seems to have had no impact on projects and I see no organized attempts to fork more than a couple scattered projects in protest of AI infection. If we want a best case scenario we have to take steps toward making it happen.

       @mcc @lu_leipzig I raise you two things1. this issue on fish-shell which within 12 hours became the #1 issue by number of 👍 reactions and has seen 2 members speak out against its inclusion/use2. established lists of projects that reject AI (which will be growing by many entries in April)the backlash hasn't affected like idk, harfbuzz, but we do have a voice, and I really want to know what you think of this stuff

       @alexia@shrimp.starlightnet.work What is the stance regarding projects which do not allow AI-generated code, but end up pulling in AI-generated code by virtue of their dependencies? I think that especially for languages where it is customary to have hundreds of them, this will get very complicated very fast (see: chardet)...

       @asie For the list I make, I mark them as "tainted".though, I won't take into account the whole extended dependency tree because that will get ridiculous.
