I truly truly loathe the tone of voice and writing style of AI. How everything written with it contains of incredibly unnecessary negations. Each idea starting with "X isn't blah, but blah", or "Not x, not y, just z" and all of that. It's so up and down and repetitive.

I ordered a book on a topic I really love and am passionate about and it's been written with AI. Reading this book, even though I love the topic read like I'm being punished by scrolling LinkedIN.

Been looking for a meetup to go to and scrolling through the lists, I found actual mf'rs calling AI superintelligence.

Is the #Phoenix tech scene as absolutely baron and dead as meetup.com would have you think? Things look like they've devolved into social gatherings under the guise of tech or mindless AI dribble.

TODAY, SBOX IS OFFICIALLY BORN. Introducing the Sonoran Box Lacrosse League, Arizona’s new home for box lacrosse. SBOX was created with one goal: build something bigger for the game here in the Southwest.

We need some prompt kiddies to tell an AI to reverse engineer FaceTime to work for #FreeBSD and #Linux.

The LLMs are sparing us tons of misery. I wanted to run @obsdmd in #FreeBSD, which is not supported, so I just asked Codex to take care of it through Linux emulation. Voilà!

This is nothing more than a hobby project and has no point. The stance on AI is just the worm on the hook for engagement. There be s just no reason for it. FreeBSD is 99.9% GPL free, has Linux ABI compatibility, OCI containers, more driver support, easily configured for same env
AlpineBSD is building a free operating system with a strict ban on AI-generated code. It combines the NetBSD kernel with an Alpine Linux-inspired software environment. The ban covers more than code. Contributions containing AI-generated documentation, packaging or other assets aren’t accepted either. Its base system and main software repository must stay free of generative AI output. Some tools, including GCC, are pinned to their last versions without it. Users can still choose separate repositories containing AI-generated software. Those packages are labelled “tainted.” The project is still under development, with no installer available yet. Project: wiki.alpinebsd.org/
