@jens@social.finkhaeuser.de crazy take considering it's been less than 2 months since systemd started using AI for code review. Critique all you like but at least don't disrespect us by doing it in blatant bad faith
we switched to systemd over 18 months ago! if we wanted to avoid it we would be setting our progress back half a decade at least.
at the end of the day there's no ethical consumption under capitalism, it's a constant battle between harm reduction and moral principles, the pros did (and imo still very much do) outweigh the cons. but by all means give us an alternative that meets your standards

@cas@social.treehouse.systems @jens@social.finkhaeuser.de A lot of people are understandably scared, disinfranchised, or afraid of AI-written code. I don't think this was as bad faith as it may have come across. Engage. Discuss. Please don't slap people down for showing a very human reaction in very awful times. Be a community leader.

@cas@social.treehouse.systems My blatant bad faith is with AI slop, and I absolutely disagree: the only way this can be reversed is by mercilessly shaming everyone who uses it. Sorry it's you 🤷 But it's not *my* choice to support AI slop, so don't try to turn this "bad faith" argument around. Putting AI slop into code is bad faith.
