I want this but as a Linux distribution. I don't think I'm asking for much here. I am just asking for the "open source community" to be to the left of Goldman Sachs
@mcc what do you mean? in the Alpine sphere, @postmarketOS already adopted an anti-AI policy, which will probably be adopted by Alpine too.

My understanding is that Bitwarden and KeePassXC, the two open source password managers, are *both* using random code generators at this point, which is terrifying as those are the exact tools where a small error could have the largest negative impact, and also tools that once you've committed to using it you can't quickly back out if they enter a code quality decline

@mcc Have you seen https://norden.social/@knoppix95@mastodon.social/116104645844598267 and alike?
I think apart from Mozilla, most projects are on board to fight or at least block AI.

@ariadne I am, in a flippant and general way, saying I want to eradicate all code with "AI code assistant" contributions from my computer and VPSes, but I do not currently know a way to do so. I keep having programs I previously installed add the poison after the fact without public notice. https://mastodon.social/@mcc/116110912928005524
Perhaps in future I will have to use Alpine Linux if that's how I get my code audited for no "AI" contributions.

@mcc the double (triple?) entendre of "random code generator" here is really upsetting

@ftranschel "I can get LLM corruption out of all the software in my computer except my web browser and password manager", in addition to being at this point afaik still aspirational, is kinda… that's not a good outcome. The web browser and password manager have extreme permissions and extreme capacity to do harm.

@mcc yeah. shit.

@ftranschel In addition, I have committed a tremendous error which is now coming back to bite me: I installed software written by BlueSky PBC

@mcc 1Password says "We want team members at all levels to take the approach of actively learning AI best practices, identifying opportunities to apply AI in meaningful ways, and driving innovative solutions in their daily work. Embracing the future of AI isn't just encouraged at 1Password—it's an essential part of how we will be successful at 1Password."
Pretty upset about KeepassXC on a personal level.

@itamarst Well, there is no universe where I would consider using 1password, but I guess that's still good to know

@mcc @itamarst this is a bit tangential to the whole thing but that phrasing bothers me a LOT. "an essential part" — is it? is it "essential?" where was it five years ago? and three years from now, when everyone, even the most braindead useless dead-weight MBA executive, finally realizes that it doesn't fucking work at all, will it still be "essential" then? or is the plan to stop being successful?

@mcc Yeah, KeePassXC going this route really hurt. I'm probably going to migrate back to a text file encrypted with gnupg for basic password management, but I have no idea what I'm going to use for one-time passcodes.

@mcc @ariadne I have the same feeling, if something I use start accepting AI code assistant contributions, I am considering it the same way as any proprietary software.
On the subject of Bitwarden, it seems that Vaultwarden isn't accepting any AI contributions so far (would need to dig more into issues/PRs to be 100% sure), so I will likely fork bitwarden client or make my own client... 🙃

@mcc I admit I don't know the KeePass ecosystem terribly well, but does this go "up the chain" to regular KeePass 2.x or is it just XC?

@mcc I am dropping/switching any FOSS tools that I know are using GenAI/LLMs and it is getting bleak -_-

@danjones000 @Matt_Noyes electricity is only about 1/3 of global emissions. All data centers, including AI datacenters, are only 1% of electricity usage. That makes 0.3% of total emissions.
Much more emissions are due to cars, meat, cement production and rice cultivation.
I recognize that AI has a lot of electricity use; it is nothing compared to the other things you do with your time.

Energy from training

Oh no, Deep Space Nine auto-played after Starfleet Academy. Now I have to watch the whole thing for the third or fourth time. No other option, I guess.

Another application for AI. Have an AI bot go to a conference for me and listen to everything. Only tell me about the things that I would be interested in.

@evan@cosocial.ca The article that @Matt_Noyes@social.coop posted in the thread pretty clearly laid out the massive amount of electricity that AI data centers are using. That article isn't the only one saying the same thing. AI is using massive amounts of power.
Traditional server racks consume 5-15 kW, while AI-optimized racks with high-performance GPUs require 40-60+ kW. Some cutting-edge AI training facilities are pushing individual racks to 100+ kW, fundamentally changing data center design and cooling requirements. (ref)
It doesn't really matter if the power is coming from requests to the API, running the models, training the models, or making ritual sacrifices to Baphomet in hopes of making the models sentient.
If someone is using AI, they are indirectly contributing to that power usage. If you can acknowledge that and make peace with it, fine. But, saying that the energy cost is minimal in light of this is ignoring reality.

@dandylyons@iosdev.space buried in there are shots fired at JSON-LD 🤣
> An early attempt to introduce a structured notation for chalkboard content, known as JSON-LD (Joint Standardised Notation for Leisure Displays), was proposed by a committee of the British Beer and Pub Association in 2004. The notation required events to be written in a rigid format with bracketed metadata: “[TYPE:quiz][DAY:thu][TIME:20:00] QUIZ NIGHT.” It was trialled at four pubs in Reading and abandoned within a week after staff refused to use it on grounds that it “looked like someone had a stroke while writing the board.”

Milano: «Scomodo» e un libro di Michele Gambino
@anarchia
di Giuliano Spagnul. Via Tofane a Milano, che affianca il Naviglio della Martesana, si trova in quella periferia a nord-est che ha visto “nel giro di pochi anni, quattro fiorenti borghi [diventare una] superaffollata zona 10”.
