Hey, it is another crazy cat here!

Thought I would try create some noise around software and people who are writing software without LLMs!

So!

* What things are you working on and does it have a repo? Do you want help or want people to test it?

* Anything else you want to add?

Also, let's try and get some community chat/place to get people to participate, collaborate and have fun!

So!

* Any existing channels on IRC, Matrix and/or Signal (or other things)

* Forums or Websites that are actively promoting this kind of collaboration or around software that isn't constructed with an LLM.

#noai #foss #community #projects #fun #collaborate #nollm

It is genuinely surprising that people haven't straight up just gotton tired of all the spam that Windows throws at you.

In the few occasions I have to interact with it for work or with someone's computer, I feel like I am instantly bombarded with **notifications**.

* Use VSCode - You get told to use copilot or install some stupid extension
* Use Office - It advertises the shit out of all the silly things it thinks it can help you with
* Click on the start menu - Ads and recommendations

It is just endless distractions and attempts for engagement from the user to do something OTHER than the thing they are meant or want to do.

Is it really that surprising that students homework submissions would be down? Or the quality of work is poor? Or that there are issues with people paying attention in class let alone in the workplace when you are assaulted by this shit.

What are some good open source projects and organisations that people should donate to?

Here is a fun gameboy memory for everyone who knows.

> You are playing a game
> Music jamming from the tiny speaker
> Having to play where you can see it because there was no backlight
> Those little AA batteries are about to cut out any-moment now
> You are doing your thing until!

> Music stops
> The last frame of your game locks ups
> You observe that last frame get slowly eaten away into the nothingness

I should probably ask.

How comfortable would people be with working with someone who is known to steal from everyone and does not think it is wrong?

Foxes!!! In My Cheese!!!

Oooof, definitely feeling like quitting my job today

* One week being sick
* Next week everything is fine
* Now for another week of being sick

One thing I hate about teaching is being exposed to all kinds of things that can make you sick, assuming the workload doesn't do that to you as well.

These people deserve absolutely zero respect until the end of time.

Honestly surprised they didn't call it "HUMANS.md", maybe too "on the nose".

In short, they have outlined what reads like an MLM strategy for people wanting to promote this shit in a team, business, organisation... whatever. Pre-written responses and talking points, how promote it within an org, refer to features rather than their own documentation.

It is focused on ensure that people get dependent and addicted to this.

THIS IS BY DESIGN

If it wasn't clear before, it should be very clear now that anthropic and their ilk, just view people as a mechanism to get them more money and nothing else. I have provided some highlights but there are still some very special bits in this like "Respond to common concerns" that reinforce this.

On the topic of slopware recently, I have found it pretty amusing that there are all these little issues sprinkled in so many projects with "I want copilot to be in my text editor", "can I get claude to work in this?", "Can you make LLMs a feature in this app".

There is something quite... disconnected about these things and the illusion of these things being "productivity boosters and enabling more" (whatever that fucking means).

Just... code it yourself? You have the AI, it is powerful as you have said to do everything or you could just do it quickly with it! Just use it for that instead asking real humans to enable your bullshit.

This dissonance within tech and particularly with AI chuds would be hilarious if it wasn't so damn damaging.

Hmmm... actually starting to warm up to zig!

With the slight downtime I have had, dabbling with it has been fun.

Silverlining, any app you identify on that list and feel like reimplementing.

Do it! :)

Well! I thought I would throw this at people because.

Just as a bit of a warning, the following link may reveal what FOSS project is currently contaminated with LLM junk.

While the list of software is not complete, it does reveal some of those pieces of software you may be using could be contaminated.

Here is something I have found insidious.

I have found that DigitalOcean has started introducing some AI prompting into their tutorials for installation of packages.

Caught this one and damn is it saying something that they believe this is okay?

I'm sharing a Gen-AI block list that Stevoisiak on Github has. If you have ublock origin and even want less of it around, this does seem to meet the criteria.

Can't guarantee it won't break sites but does appear to make things a little more reasonable.

Repo, use the GenAI-Blocklist.txt file:

What furry IRC servers exist?

"Being where it is happening"

Been a while since I have posted art here but thought I would post this.

#furry #furryart #drawing #art #retro #sliceoflife

Well, #mozilla announced a new CEO that has decided to lean into the AI shittery moreso.

Cool, I especially love this quote:

> First: Every product we build must give people agency in how it works. Privacy, data use, and AI must be clear and understandable. Controls must be simple. AI should always be a choice — something people can easily turn off. People should know why a feature works the way it does and what value they get from it.

"easily turn off"

How about off by default? If you are going to be serious about privacy, data use and AI, collecting it and making it on by default is demonstrating a serious lack of understanding of the first two.

2.
> our business model must align with trust. We will grow through transparent monetization that people recognize and value.

3.
> It will evolve into a modern AI browser and support a portfolio of new and trusted software additions

It also demonstrates that the second and third point where they want a business model to 'align with trust'. There is no trust in this situation and participants here are not willing to support an organisation that is focused on rotting their browser experience.

Third point being is that firefox will evolve into a "modern AI browser".

Ask yourself, is this truly what your users want?

CEO for not even 1h and demonstrates a lack of spine and a lack of listening to their userbase.

This isn't to say they aren't trying to be pragmatic or doing what their biggest donors (Google and the other silly companies) is pushing for. However, it is incredibly disappointing that such an organisation is just a vehicle for driving unnecessary bullshit.

Fedi/Mastodon Idea - Likely done but hey lets see if this takes?

If you want to encourage more people onto this platform, create a quarterly #FediParty day, make it a day where you invite people from other social networks, make it an event and sync it with others.
