That’s … incredibly stupid. It will also make Flathub completely irrelevant shortly since app developers won’t change what they’re doing just because Flathub throws a hissy fit.
/had an LLM-assisted PR merged into an open source project yesterday
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is based off of public domain sources but it is nevertheless under copyright itself. So even if the output of LLMs was public domain (not something that has been clearly or universally established) that doesn’t mean a project incorporating it would have to be. Public domain is not “viral.”
Foss kicking itself in the face. Year of the Linux desktop any day now.
Over confident devs who can’t figure out the delta between entire companies replacing humans and the reality of a force amplifier that’ll turn devs into architecture/operators outside a small niche of actual hardcore coders.

They’re firing humans. “Replacing” implies something else is doing their jobs.

Is this “force amplifier” in the room with us right now?
Year of the Linux desktop any day now.
“Year of the Linux desktop” is a meme. Nobody cares if someone uses Linux, Mac, or Windows. All anyone wants is decent support for software on Linux as well. That being the case, it takes a special kind of masochism to use Windows these days.

Really? Llm code can not confirm to open source licences.
That’s my personal view as well and so all apps I write are “licensed” as CC0. Other maintainers are taking a different view.
Citation needed, I’ve never heard that before and I’m seeing plenty of evidence of people behaving otherwise.
I thought llm code was all public domain? Which I guess that means it can’t be under an open source license.
a project not lines of code. you cant license a fully 100% vibe coded app but adding a function to a project doesnt invalidate a whole project
And even if it was 100% vibe coded, how could one tell? The code has never been published before so there’s no way to determine its origin.

Who’s throwing a hissy fit here? Certainly not flathub but Ai Bros like you.
basically the project has to have a history of being maintained well already to get exemption.
Having a policy against bad apps is fine - but that’s not what this policy says.
It’s trivial to write a good app using LLM aids - but that new app won’t have such a history.
So, something that pulls a Blender is excusable?
what did blender do?
