Ah my bad, misread your original comment.
It can be converted to a small SUV with an extra kit from the factory, so it can accommodate more passengers if needed.
+1 to remove them. 99% of those AI projects will go unmaintained and abandoned after a year, and their use of AI more often than not impedes socialist efforts due to directly or indirectly supporting fascists tech companies.

Simply using an AI that's run on a corporate data centers encourages the construction of yet more data centers, with all of the environmental/climate negatives they bring, as well as local harms they induce on the people living near them, such as increased electricity rates.
-
Using corporate AI directly helps the financial situations of those giant corporations (by boosting usage/user numbers, they are able to attract more investment capital), most of which are ran by right-wing CEOs who are more than willing to collaborate with and fund fascist governments to ensure that they are not regulated in search of both maximum profits. Some of these companies, such as Nvidia, Palantir and Oracle, genuinely appear to be seeking to use these tools for what would previously be considered crackpot conspiracy theory levels of public control and surveillance.

All currently existing LLMs are unethically trained on copyrighted code that is incompatible with GPL licensed projects. LLMs have a 3 to 10% chance to unknowingly reproduce the copyrighted code perfectly, introducing legal plagiarism into an open-source project, which could easily open up the developers to being sued in the future if companies scanned open source repos for copyright violations.

Some European courts have ruled that LLM generated code cannot be copyrighted at all, meaning that it also cannot be legally made GPL, losing the protections from corporate exploration the GPL normally grants. https://fsfe.org/news/2026/news-20260825-01.html
Inversely, less comments means it's far more viable to actually engage in the comments yourself even hours after a post has been made, whereas on Reddit if you don't make a comment within the first hour, your comment is often buried.
Redox OS, Haiku, and NetBSD are the major alternatives that are taking a stand against AI contributions. If the Linux kernel isn't forked at some point, I could see those alternatives getting more attention in the future.
Huh, had no idea Linus said they'd help remaster it until looking it up from your comment.
Not sure if these are from those efforts.
It's a guide on how to begin self hosting, with the ultimate goal of lessoning dependence on centralized big tech owned websites. Lemmy/Piefed is an example of a citizen owned decentralized platform, which we need more of.
Codeberg no longer allows projects that code with AI.
Big oof on using LLM code for a fediverse project. That's not going to do any favors finding motivated devs to chip in, especially with all the social, ethical, and potential copyright issues they bring.

I'm wary of the potential effects of AI usage resulting in declining or stagnating critical thinking based on some preliminary studies (example 1, example 2).

It is not clear if LLMs can be "just a tool".
I personally think that the external costs of AI use far outweigh any potential benefit they can bring, but if soneone ultimately decides they are going to continue using them regatdless, I would hope they consider at least using a self-hosted LLM, or using something like AI horde instead, which has volunteers hosting AI, and avoids directly benefitting the fascist corporations such as openAI, anthropic, ect.
If you're unfamiliar with it, Cowboy Bebop started as a sci-fi television series (which is also fantastic), and later had this movie made to cap it off.
You don't need to have seen the show to watch the movie, and it's not a bad way to introduce yourself to the series, as it does a good job of introducing the characters and works as a standalone story.
Thought this would be a good one to post for the halloween theme, since the movie takes place during halloween :D
