@[email protected] Linux itself is heavily using AI models. Therefore, every Linux distribution moving to recent kernel versions is heavily built on top of using AI models. Creating a Linux distribution not heavily using it would require a hard fork of the Linux kernel and many other projects. It's unclear what would be accomplished by banning AI for a tiny portion of the code while continuing to use Linux, AOSP, Chromium and hundreds of other projects heavily using it. We'd still be benefiting from it.

GrapheneOS is currently defending its use of AI coding tools on Mastodon against complaints by various accounts claiming to be users.

We do not understand where you’re coming from or why you’re so incredibly angry with us. It’s not justified and does not make sense.

    I guess many people don’t know how much programming has changed over the last year. GrapheneOS is doing a good job telling it like it is.

      … telling it like it is.

      I know only one type of person that uses that phrase unironically.

      Your take here is so dumb. Many on Lemmy are software engineers (myself included).

      We know exactly how “AI” companies have tried to change programming and know how dumb and misguided it is because we understand quality code.

        Sure bro. All dumb takes by GrapheneOS, LineageOS, and even Linux.

        You understand quality code, unlike Linus Torvalds.

          GrapheneOS and Linus have always had a god complex and took the stance their way is the only way. I have never respected them as the arbiters of the correct path others have. (I know LineageOS exists but not much else so can’t speak to them).

          I respect them putting in the effort. I respect them trying. I’ve contributed where I can because the overall goal of data privacy and digital freedom is one I agree with. But to hold them on a pedestal as always right is, yes, still a dumb take. I’ve never seen anything that made them the end all be all people seem to hold them up as. Solid voices who’s opinion should hold more than average? Sure. But that’s it.

          Yes, Linus is smart and has had good takes and can produce code used by most every computer in one way or another. That doesn’t make him infallible.
