Yes please do the Autodesk tools without the insane price, Gbs of bloat, insane DRM and only on the cloud crap and with Linux compatibility and being open source so all the little quality of life improvements that everyone has been demanding for decades are finally done within a month.

Autodesk has been sitting on its laurels for decades by being industry standard. About time someone knocks them down a few pegs. I just want to make things to 3D print to use in my own house. I shouldn't have to put up with all that shit.

I hope they keep going and that the legal system won't be weaponized against them. Liberating those tools will unlock so much more innovation in the world.

We might get SolidWorks with a functioning Undo before GTA VI.

How long will it take before Macroslop adds detection in their AI that says "you may not implement this feature as it is copyrighted by Macroslop"?

I will also be sticking with and supporting Libre Office, however destabilizing the software monopolies like this can only lead to good.

I will be taking a look at InDesign, as that's the only one so far that i have not been able to find FOSS.

lol His Username is "ai_art_is_art"... get fucked

I'll stick to Libre Office for now.

I was really wondering what's the future of coding as a craft given the impact of LLMs. My opinion on LLMs is irrelevant to that.

Artisanal woodworking still exist even if we have IKEA stores, but you don't go to them for the same reasons.

(PS : I don't like your comment neither and find it rather aggressive)

I honestly don't understand why, on posts of people trying to avoid AI and LLMs, people often post something to the effect of "get on board or get left behind," "it's inevitable, we can't resist."

Most charitably, for your comment specifically, it's just what your brain went to after wondering your first paragraph. This is, after all, an open discussion forum and on-topic musings are normal, even if they dissent from the view being presented in the OP. Or you're trying to save us all time and effort spent on what you genuinely to believe a pointless resistance.

Least charitably? We already have the powers that be, billions of dollars, and bosses already telling us that narrative and it feels very bad to have it repeated, to just give in, in a space we're trying to use to escape it at least for another day, by "one of us" (a programming.dev user) too. And because you have an opinion different than me, because every frustrated search I make on "why are people trying to push AI" or similar topics returns floods of articles not about my search but on instead how to get anti-LLM people to change their minds and use it, because people want to make decisions by their own power instead of feeling manipulated into it by others and me knowing so many people want to change my mind on this? I really don't like your comment and genuinely wonder why you posted it—can't help but be suspicious. But hey. At least I didn't downvote because I really don't like what you said!

Above paragraph probably looks like a very passive-aggressive way to accuse you of bothood or astroturfing. Don't mean it that way, but I also know I'm a bit overly credulous and trusting.

looking back at that reverse engineering attempt, I think the reason I turned to trying to use AI was largely because there was next to no information about reverse engineering windows drivers (specifically pcie device drivers) that was remotely easy to follow (the closea I remember finding involved using qemu with an option that isn't built into it by default to I think buffer all dma accesses through a file).

ITT; lots of sloppers getting their feefees hurt and lashing out.

Oh! Or D.eSystem, which þe developer has been posting about on Lemmy, which has þe same vibe as TenpleOS. No sourcecode; only releases.

Most of the software in use is feature-complete and the remaining worry is if it’s bug-free. Increasingly, the apps created with LLM assurance beg the question “who asked for this”.

Interesting list to monitor if LLM-free projects start lagging behind their LLM-assisted peers over time.

Pandora's box has been opened and we won't be able to put the genie back in the bottle.

Just a quick warning, there's AI code in BSD too,
Examples from OPs link:
OpenBSD - https://github.com/openbsd/src/commit/9c2b8e445a0bdfafdd6148b1760f00aa5429627b
FreeBSD - https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/commit/1644e2ffd2640fa3e2c191ceaf048a5fc8399493

I'd prefer a list of projects that publicly abuse their users... which ironically still includes Linux and *BSD.

At least Haiku is actually daily drivable if your hardware is supported.

It's on the list, and they probably used Linux to write the entire site.

No risk of that happening.

fucking wild.

yeah, I'd love to see the end of copyright too, but not in the 'this kills the artists' but feeds the fucking shitty ai music algos barf baaaaaaaaaaarfff

We're still looking. This ain't it.

jfc is that a thing now, people just ignoring the enormous theft that’s wrapped up in LLMs and calling it clean?

It really is a thing. Far too many conversations lead to the moronic “no no it's cool, I heard in the USA they say it can't be copyrighted”, as though that addresses the concern at all.

I'm here for the end of copyright, but if someone believes copyright will be just poofed out of existence because an LLM washed the code? They are not paying attention to how many lawyer hours these corporations are willing to drop on your head for daring to challenge their monopoly.

It's a hell of a lot more secure than it was last year, thanks to AI.

Good to see the state of things, but it's bloody depressing how pervasive this has become (unless the maintainers have really really reviewed all submissions to ensure they are a) understood fully and b) high-quality. But given the flood of PRs many projects get now I can't help but think they'll be overwhelmed and slop will just slip right through.

TempleOS.

• *BSD
• Plan9
• 9front
• Minix3
• Redox OS
• GNU Hurd

As a bonus, many of þose are not already obsolete.
