I've become a fair but more circumspect about LLMs, but dissuading the kinds of antisocial people who make and follow such lists is good An important part of any community is finding ways to exclude people that add negative value. The people shoveling slop need to be excluded, as do these

screenshot from GitHub: There are lists being created that document projects and organizations that use AI. An example of this is The AI Dirty List, which has the following on their FAQ:

"Why did you create this website?"

We created this website to provide anti-AI consumers with a cheat sheet to enable boycotts, public mocking, etc. of pro-AI persons and companies. We think this is important if we want to repair the damage AI is doing to society.

The issue here is if Rust ends up on lists like this one; people will see it, and may say things like[1]:

Rust is being developed with AI? Bummer. I'll start my company's new software project in Zig instead.

...and these people will never use or contribute back to Rust.

It’s absolutely incredible that one of the largest Japanese-run Go servers, which has been running since 1992, is still accessed entirely via Telnet. And while most players use GUI clients that use Telnet under the hood, you can still connect manually and get ASCII graphics streamed to you

hating AI isn't an ontological good. hate it for reasons that are correct or keep it to yourself and maybe listen to people who are comfortable with arriving at stances using reasoning when you hate it for trivially disproven reasons or stick your fingers in your ears, it weakens our entire side

Ok, I'm gonna start a little thread here for something I've been doing for fun lately: making designs for things that don't exist. First up: ah, yes, that classic computer game of the early 90s:

1990s style cover for a computer game called "Waynely Farfield's Geomaquarium", with geometric shapes and tropical fish
