Inb4 Amnesty gets classified as a terrorist group by the US government

GenAI replaces a lot of thinking. It is not on the same scale as those other tools. With an LLM, I can easily submit big chunk of code that does a thing, without understanding anything about how or why it does it. That’s not possible with just an IDE. Writing is a form of thinking that gives a much deeper unserstanding than reading and you dont get that with an LLM. That thought-bypass can rapidly become a maintainability issue, and increases the risk of major bugs going undetected.

Why would you not want to disclose though? Is it because of shame? Because you are unable to defend your choice? If it’s “just a tool”, is that not enough to defend your choice?

To be clear: the alternative policy we’re talking about isn’t “LLMs are bad, don’t use them”, it’s “Let us know when you are using LLMs”

Yes… That was also disappointing :(

because a simple disclaimer doesn’t distinguish between the work done,

So just declare how you used the tool?

and also encourages people to point out to AI as a scapegoat for their mistakes.

Nonsense. Doing so is clearly abdicating the responsibility that you’re saying people need to have, and basically admitting you’re a bad developer.

If you’re happy to use AI tools to develop, why would you not be happy to declare your use of those tools?

I do respect their decision and I maintain projects should be self governing.

Me too, but I also think that governance isn’t as simple as “we get to decide what we do”, it also interacts with how well the decision-makers understand their domain and their broader it sits in, both of which are potentially reduced as a consequence of relying on AI.

Also there is the possibility of AI tools dominating workflows and then getting ripped away (either as the corporates raise costs, or the bubble bursts and they collapse), leaving a project overwhelmed with a unmanageably large array of weaknesses. In that scenario self-governance starts to become irrelevant.

This is disappointing… It would have been good to have at least one major distro that was AI free

This is a very hard decision to reverse out of if it turns out to be a problem in a few years

That last bit is a bad idea

the only assurance that survives an audit is that it does not leave the machine.

Well said!

Damn, I really could have made a lot of use of this over the last 20+ years… Thanks for sharing!

Yeah… That individualist mind virus is pretty virulent, huh?

I’m amazed there are not riots over shit like this

You OK?

That’s sea ice extent, not measuring the ice sheet (which is the permanent glacier on land).

Also it’s well within the historical variability, so probably not a huge flag right now… Might be worth checking over the next few weeks though. Antarctic sea ice did fall off a cliff over the last decade… There’s also an El Niño building, which is connected to warming I’m the Amundsen Sea, though I don’t know how the timing works there.

Even after that… Actual policy change needs to be implemented. Still… May as well enjoy the small steps forward too

I’ll take a bunch of somewhat-socialist representatives over no hardcore-socialist reps.

What? There’s one ml comment in the entire thread, the majority are from .world

Preselect a few socialists? (Not much)
