@tinker@infosec.exchange I haven’t seen an official statement about AI code generation. I can’t imagine any of the openbsd devs wanting to use that stuff—they care about quality, even when they have to choose it over practicality.

As pointed out by awesome folks in the thread and as I'm looking things up in my half awake state of mind in the middle of the night... - OpenBSD doesn't really use systemd - It has an awesome approach to development - I can run Bash on it (I live in Bash) - Most of my common pentest tools run on it, often maintain in native packages - Most of my common household tools run on it (looking up how many are maintained in packages) - I can run my favorite Desktop Environments in it. I guess the last question would be what's the state of OpenBSD gaming and is this the year of OpenBSD Desktop?! 😂 (No, seriously, can I run Steam in OpenBSD? Is there Proton or Proton-like emulation / compatibility layer for running Windows games in OpenBSD?!?!?!) #openbsd

@tinker@infosec.exchange OpenBSD has a permissive AI policy and condones AI ingestion: https://codeberg.org/ethical-foss/open-slopware#bsd-based HyperbolaBSD and MirBSD have anti-AI policies. NetBSD allows core maintainers to sign off on LLM generated code, but to date they have not yet.

@tinker@infosec.exchange Openbsd has not made a formal policy. There was some chatter about it on the -misc list, but no formal statement made. It's been a frustration for those of us already running #openbsd who wanted a safe home from the slop-pocalypse. That said, it's a terrific os. I daily drive it on several machines, including my laptop. #runbsd tagged, in hopes of summoning the fanbase.
