Oracle has banned AI-generated code from OpenJDK contributions, citing safety, security, and intellectual property risks. The open-source Java project steward said developers can use LLMs privately for debugging and reviewing code but cannot submit AI-generated material to repositories, pull requests, or other project channels.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social It must be only written by THEIR pet AI project. It's hard to believe there is a worse human than Ellison (Thiel, probably) and a more useless company than Oracle. Oracle is just pretentious MySQL.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social They want people to use ai slop because it infantilizes people to the point where the techbros look smarter. When people have skills and knowledge, we all realize that techbros are moronic leeches draining our resources to stupid shit.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social I now hate Oracle a tiny bit less than a moment ago.

@nixCraft@mastodon.social people scoffed when #Debian made that kind of an announcement. How do folks think about Oracle?
