    From now on this might as well be Debian as they’ve adopted the most libertarian rule about LLMs you could vote for. (Basically “do whatever the fuck you want on our code”). Which immediately caused core maintainers with a spine to quit on the spot.

    Seemed related to the meme given Debian is the base for a majority of user-friendly distros you’d give to former Windows user.

    Interestingly the whole vote was pretty rigged, as a total ban would’ve required a 3:1 supermajority while the new rule only required a simple majority. And since AI bros piled on that one while everyone else scattered across the other options…

    Future codebases gonna be a disaster, almost no one will actually know all of the code anymore.

      That’s a bunch of bullshit tbh.

      The reason why microsoft is going to shit with AI is because they force it down their developers throat. Hell, people get reprimanded because they don’t use enough tokens each month. And yes, if you’re forced to shove AI down everything, it’s going to be shit.

      Debian isn’t going to end up like microsoft because debian isn’t forcing it’s use. So people use it where it’s going to be useful and if it results in shitty code, well, a maintainer will most likely spot it. Debian is famed for it’s stability and pretending like their liberal stance on LLMs is going to change that is nonsense.

      I don’t want to bring up old wounds - but it was the same with the init system vote - it was set up in a way that only systemd could possibly win.

      AI was the goal from the outset, the voting was just theatre.
