When I say "fork every software project containing code by by 'AI code assistants', starting at the commit before the slop is known or believed to have been added, and resume from there", I really do mean every project

@mcc@mastodon.social unfortunately it's a more viable solution to "just" switch to a different backend than to maintain an organizationally separate long time llvm fork...

@mcc@mastodon.social I've been surprised at how little pushback against "AI" code I've seen in major open source projects, but perhaps I shouldn't be. There's the old guard who deliberately muddled the meaning of freedom and encouraged corporate exploitation of open source, and after decades of that, a lot of open source software organizations seem to be fronts for major corporations.
