Politicians take oaths to serve their countries. I imagine doctors take their oaths about as serious.

Too bad Android is locked down and the android versions on these devices don’t support a lot of modern apps.

You can use Nura (PostMarketsOS) and have the LLM write the hardware drivers for your own phone which are missing from the project. This is often a pretty custom for most phones. Once you get the drivers you can use the rest of the OS like normal.

You can now revive obsolete devices and get them useable. There’s probably some slop in there but the slop is really getting a lot better it would be great if people were more accepting for using LLM’s for extremely labour intensive tedious tasks which nobody would else do anyways.

On one hand you don’t know what the code is doing but on the other hand it’s impossible to write so much code by hand and do any amount of testing for projects this big

LLM code is getting less sloppy and you now have the choice between generating open-source projects which you will never read the code of, or using an artisan coded buggy project.

Nobody has the time to test every single communication protocol manually to see when a camera is able to take pictures or a microphone records audio. LLM’s can do this driver development and even check when the result looks good. There’s soooo much tedious labour which can already be automated.

OP managed to revive an abandoned phone with working drivers thanks to LLM development. That’s a massive win.

Gradients

LLM’s found a mountain of security exploits of different magnitudes in the Linux kernel which got patched.

You’re in luck it already is https://x.com/NathanFlurry/status/2105874931586310248

Replace the whole thing with “are”

It all just feels incredibly forced. Reddit posts are still 30% women in skimpy outfits just for the coomers. You’re not entitled to see a womens tits all day. Subs like “oldschoolcool” are actually “woman in bikini” Stop objectifying women already.

And swearing in every sentence makes swear words lose value. Swearing is supposed to be a very fucking impactful use of language instead of a generic fucking filler word which is inserted into every fucking sentence at a random fucking places and could just as well be left out.

In short: both things add nothing to discourse or ideas. It’s just filler stuff. If you want porn there’s porn websites.

This is about banning AI contributions from specific open-sourced projects.

Do you even know what Codeberg did?

If the goal isn’t to oppose the technology but instead steer towards better use of the technology then that should be promoted. This blanket opposition means that we get fascists like DHH being the only ones to adopt LLM’s because for some reason the left has a hate boner for it.

LLM’s can save tremendous time now. You see projects like C&C Generals running on a tablet, or Lego Racers on web which would require tonnes of manual labour and now they’re just a few LLM prompts. It’s gotten to the point these kind of projects which would have been multi-year undertakings in the past have become “unimpressive”

Yes they’re not perfect and they do make mistakes. That’s why understanding architecture is more important than ever. But manual coding is really becoming a thing of the past. Agentic coding progress over the last year has pretty much solidified that. It’s still not perfect but it’s really good now.

Any industry that throws billions of dollars into something will make progress and now that progress has been made there’s not much of a point in just resisting the tech itself. Therefore instead of pleading against all AI I believe it’s much better to plead for open weight or open source and efficient AI.

The problem is like with the Luddites that you don’t own the machine (AI) and the largest companies want to keep full control over them. It’s a problem with the system ruling you not with the technology itself.

This is the exact opposite. Trying to ban AI from everything despite its use cases.

Many people don’t know this but even Luddites didn’t oppose machinery. They simply opposed the ownership structure of it. So instead of saying “no LLM” you could say “Open-source/weight LLM’s allowed only”.

Issues of licensing and stolen code, potentially causing copyright problems which most open-source projects are poorly fit to resolve and may go down because of them

What, we care about licenses and copyright now?

Big tech has stolen all code and now everything it “open source”. You’re not going to get into legal trouble for using LLM generated code there’s no precedent for that. The only ones getting sued are the big tech companies who stole the code.

Environmental impact of model training, huge data centers threatening water supplies, producing tons of e-waste, creating noise pollution, increasing power demand, including one from unclean sources at the critical point when we should reduce it as much as possible

Sure but that’s mostly them training a gazillion new models. You could ban models from providers that are doing all these things and thus promote more efficient models.

Deterioration in skill level of human coders and lack of avenues for juniors to learn to code properly, which is likely to stay as an essential thing to have

Valid but understanding architecture and delegating writing the code and especially tests is becoming much more important than just artisan writing it these days.

Outside coding, there are many ethical issues around companies producing LLM models, as many have ties to the military and police, and are heavily misused to fuel fascist regimes

Like I said there’s local models as well. China puts out plenty of great open weight stuff like GLM5.3 which will likely have to run in the cloud but it’s still open weight.

Can the blind anti LLM jerk stop already it’s the same 2024 2025 arguments. Agentic coding has massively improved this year even local open source LLM’s are getting good

Linux Mint or I’d try out Zorin OS but I haven’t tried that yet.

Besides slop coding, by far the most useful use case for AI is writing tests to find unintended bugs. It should 100% be used if not just for that.

Great call. I’m not sure if they should focus so heavily on the recycling theme. In the end, the goal is a superior Linux operating system for all phones, not just recyclable hardware. But the logo still looks pretty sleek.

No

I’s like to see a non Omarchy AI focussed Linux distro but transforming KDE into it seems like a bad idea.

Kind of astounding that someone still recommends pop OS after all the LTT videos of it completely borking.
