it’s the future, just like blockchain and NFTs. I mean really if you don’t marry an LLM right now (ignore the gun i’m holding to your head, don’t change the topic) you’ll just go mad at some point as everyone else leaves you behind…

that comparison works quite well to explain why i think it can’t legally qualify as open source, too!
Both ai-generated software and short generic scripts aren’t really unique in any meaningful way, there’s no creativity in it and therefore it really shouldn’t be considered covered by copyright in the first place.

the problem with “just a tool” is that using it will inherently change how you act.
Best concise way i can put it is that it’s like how better hardware has largely just resulted in software not really caring about efficiency any longer.

what makes you think it would become an unused backwater? The people most vocally anti-AI are also those most likely to actually engage with places like this. And there’s plenty of people here who support banning AI slop on the community so clearly there’d still be people left after you leave.

i’m so curious what the argument against banning AI slop would even be, lmao

Is AI Slop Worse Than Cannibalism?

“accept it or go mad” always just comes across as extremely desperate, lol

nooooo you don’t understand you HAVE to accept it! There’s no other choice!! Nooo stop rejecting it you’re not allowed to do that!!!

so the solution then is to just give up??

sorry but that’s obviously nonsense, you can have unenforceable rules, god isn’t going to smite you for doing so.

i maintain that the most sensible thing would be to develop a minimal linux “shim” that just runs an android VM, then you no longer have to develop ROMs for every specific device and you can start slowly porting features over to the linux side of the whole shebang.

my take is that either it IS copyrightable and thus every single fucking piece of LLM-written code is a copyright violation of biblical proportions (because it’s trained on everything), or it isn’t copyrightable and thus effectively unusable for open source things

yes, obviously the solution to things being shit is to just give up and die, what wonderful advice.

i mean the rules are there to explain and justify why they remove things, i sincerely doubt they actually intend to nuke anything that can theoretically facilitate the use of LLMs.

They just need to rewrite that bit to communicate what they actually meant.

i think you got the link wrong, it should be http://[100::1]
(i probably have to explain the joke, it’s an ipv6 blackhole address, even just using ipv6 in the browser is so fucking obscure it simply refuses to link it properly :hidethepainharold:)

i will now forever hear “quaker” as a slur for boomer-shooter players.

Fucking quaker, IDDQD yourself.

uhhh… yeah but even a laptop isn’t portable enough to put in your pocket, lol. They also generally can’t make phonecalls.

AFAIK aurora store is a completely separate implementation, it’s certainly not based on the play store in any way since it’s open source.

entirely depends on the phone and the setup you go with, postmarket is kinda more of a platform than a single specific OS, like if fedora made you choose one of their spins.

I’ve only used it on a pinephone (which isn’t exactly the ideal hardware…) and my experience on that was that you could probably survive using it as a fancy feature phone.

because aurora store isn’t developed by a big team of professionals with a massive budget, and aren’t getting security audits by other teams of well-funded professionals.

the point isn’t that aurora store is insecure, the point is that the play store is VERY secure (it’ll just also merrily sell your data to palantir)

this would be an ideal use case for IPFS, since that returns the same content address even if you upload something completely independently. I.e. no need for specific torrent files, just upload whatever apps you got and you’ll automatically be helping existing uploads.
(with the one caveat that you need to use the same settings, but if everyone uses the defaults that’s not a problem)

for some people maybe, but if that was the whole point of the project then why would they even have the option to log in?
