@campuscodi FYI, this thing is almost certainly slop. Also see the nonexistent OAuth8 (??) and other proposed specs, none of which exist.
A hard ban on LLM/"AI" use in a FLOSS project is the moderate stance. I am not a moderate person.
Giving space to these machines is throwing the millions of people whose work they stole, the millions of people who suffer under their crawlers' assault under the bus.
We do not throw each other under the bus in a civil society. I hope you understand this to be the bare minimum.
re: usgov, taxes, legal/uspol
Also, the tax prep site didn't show me terms & conditions until AFTER paying, & gave me no path to a refund without a forced agreement. Pretty sure that's de-jure illegal, but de-facto clowns with guns run the circus.
So do I accept forced binding arbitration, or do I opt out in favor of forced jury-less trials in the jurisdiction of Dallas County & North Texas?
re: usgov, taxes
Holy slop, all the AI fuck integration is too much!
And this marks the first time I've had to fight off *all* the "modern website" pop-ups throughout the whole filing process. Who the hell wants to subscribe to a newsletter in the middle of entering tax return data, especially after saying no on login? Why would you want to cover up one unwanted pop-up with a *second* unwanted pop-up just two seconds later?
Next year, I'm sending paper forms USPS.
genai, humorous
many free software projects are banning contributions that were made partially or fully by generative models
the genie is out of the bottle, and we can't get it back in. genai bans are here to stay and will eventually take over the whole industry
don't get left behind! ban genai on your project as well!
usgov, taxes
Today is tax day in the US, the deadline for individuals to:
1. take numbers the gov gave us,
2. perform arithmetic the gov already performed,
3. give the gov other numbers it already knows,
4. pray our arithmetic matched its, and
5. pray it made our employers withhold too much money from our paychecks so the gov owes us the refund it knows it does.
ten minutes.

ten minutes is all it takes to lose substantive cognitive function.
AI: not even once.

I suspect the actual reason for this is in the second half of the sentence:
"... or receive an exemption from the Pentagon or Homeland Security Department."
We've seen this administration use approval processes to extract all kinds of concessions out of companies; see its use of approval over mergers to get media companies to do its bidding.
