This is disappointing… It would have been good to have at least one major distro that was AI free
This is a very hard decision to reverse out of if it turns out to be a problem in a few years
The good news is that it could roll back to the current stable Trixie at any point
It’s pretty much the same policy as the Linux kernel, but still disappointing.
I’ve been dumping things left and right as they decide Claude is their buddy, and that won’t stop because the same idiots who dropped decent init systems for that RedHat tech bro’s mess decided not to block it.
At least the kernel requires disclosure of AI use. The new Debian “policy” doesn’t even require that.
I trust their judgement here. I hope this is the right call.
char strawberry = “r”
Contributors are expected to understand, review, test, and, where appropriate, modify AI-assisted output before incorporating it into Debian. Blindly accepting or uploading AI-generated material without appropriate human review is inconsistent with Debian’s established development practices. We [encourage] our contributors to disclose whether a contribution was made with AI [assistance], but do not require them to do so.
That last bit is a bad idea
I have 2 installations of debian that will now be deleted.
In favour of what? The kernel itself is now worked on with ai tooling. I don’t see how you can get away from it…
I had debian installed as back up distro’s, just for something that wasn’t arch based. The debian partitions were deleted from the arch based distro’s installed on both pc’s today. I was waiting to see which way debian was heading on this, but was fairly certain they were going to shit due to the choices that were being voted on, and how none of them appeared to be anti-ai. They seemed deliberately verbose knowing that most people scan text at best these days.
Time to look around again I guess, I’ve never looked into BSD, Hurd, Solaris… https://distrowatch.com/search.php
by going elsewhere i imagine
linus’s will be linus’s eh
please don’t downvote me jensen huang/sam altman/pedophile pope trump/alex carp/emperor palpatine/elon musk. omg.
