@hailey@hails.org oh boy. Well I hope #Gentoo's no AI policy is working against upstream vibecoding as well. But what madness to have to check whether a fundamental piece of software is still trustworthy in the future.

@odd@mstdn.social @hailey@hails.org It generally doesn't prevent AI generated projects from getting packaged, but considering that this is a core package for Gentoo, it likely will have additional review and such done, which will affect if it gets unmasked and such?

@odd@mstdn.social @hailey@hails.org Given a choice between freezing all packages before vibe coding was "discovered" and packaging upstream releases, the former is not fully practical. The Gentoo social contract requires following council mandated policies about how one interacts with the Gentoo project, but doesn't control what other projects merge. The kernel is slopcoded too, but we can't exactly do without that, now can we? Well, okay, we recently added experimental GNU Hurd support. :P
