Oh man, there’s even a dumbass reply to it. https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2026/08/msg00330.html
I also can’t help but feel that this sentiment expressed in this way is probably is not comfortable for anyone contributing to the Debian AI Team
Yeah, that’s called your conscience. When it makes you feel bad it usually means you’re doing something wrong.
What’s dumbass about the person explaining their position?
That is a response to the OP link. The person is saying that just because all of the companies pushing AI are fascist collaborators, that doesn’t mean that their AI serves fascist purposes. That’s what makes it a dumbass response
Ah… Reading on my phone foiled me again. Thanks.
Dammit, the vote won? What was the margin?
good riddance. concentrate on bettering the os, not fighting ghosts
Filling the OS with slop does not make it better.
It’s already an absurd thought to believe an operating system can be developed sans this new technology given today’s reality. Enjoy the memes, I hope they make the change easier.
Operating Systems had been developed for decades without AI. Nothing about the presence of AI or “today’s reality” makes this impossible to continue doing.
ok, I respect your thought. It very much sounds like the farmer arguing that crops were harvested for thousands of years without tractors to me.
Would you tell such a farmer that it’s absurd to believe crops can be harvested without tractors in today’s reality?
I’d tell the farmer that it’s absurd to think you can operate in the modern economy without modern tools.
I got a business degree in Dallas and worked as a Systems Engineer in San Francisco for 14 years. I neither expect the farmer nor the nerd to understand macroeconomics.
