Yes, the famously useless PosmarketOS.

Why don't you share the list of very useful things you created instead, mono442?

Never ask a woman her age or a vibe coder to show you an useful program they've written.

[mono442]

I don't work on open source stuff but I work at a financial institution and genai has been a huge productivity boost. I can easily write 2x - 5x more code than before genai.

No one is stopping you from vibe-coding a POSIX-compatible mobile OS.

Not parent commenter but this is bound to happen.

And I highly doubt iOS and Android are free from LLM assisted code at this point.

[MonkeyClub]

Whoever needs more slop faster can easily find it elsewhere, if PostmarketOS doesn't want to follow the trend, that's well and good.

Weird stance to take.

I can understand "untested AI-genned code is bad, and thus anything that reeks of AI is going to be scrutinized" - especially given that PostmarketOS deals a lot with kernel drivers for hardware. Notoriously low error margins. But they just had to go out of their way and make it ideological rather than pragmatic.

It's fine for a project to have moral/ideological leanings, it's only weird if you insist that project teams should be entirely amoral.

as a kernel developer, I use LLMs for some tasks, but can say it is not there yet to write real kernel space code

[xantronix]

The licensure of the code generated by LLMs is not a settled matter in all jurisdictions; this is a very valid pragmatic concern they address.
