Post #1367510

2026-04-03 09:46 UTC

The Jellyfin project started working on a new desktop client. They've deprecated the current Qt-based one and are working on a new CEF-based client. Opened the new repository and… well fuck, looks like Jellyfin is going down the AI slop route now: #jellyfin #ai #aislop #slopware

    Link to repo: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-desktop Jellyfin's official stance on "AI" in their LLM development policy (https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/contributing/llm-policies/) is very ambivalent. They’re critical of some aspects but are not outright banning its usage.

    The client's main author, Jellyfin co-founder Andrew Rabert, seems to be a Claude fan: https://github.com/andrewrabert/claude-code-marketplace His Linkedin page is full of likes and shares praising "AI". Going down his timeline, there is almost no other topic. Looks like he went full AI bro. #jellyfin #aislop

    @rhandos no matter your stance on AI, having claude blocked on github is great since you know what you're signing up for yellow banner on a repo = AI was here

    @rhandos Honestly it checks out that someone who can't be bothered to use a native UI toolkit decides to go all-in on the slop. The goal was from the start to never put any actual effort in.
