🤖 NetBSD’s New Policy: No Place for AI-Created Code
— @linuxiac
“New development policy: code generated by a large language model or similar technology (e.g. ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot) is presumed to be tainted (i.e. of unclear copyright, not fitting NetBSD’s licensing goals) and cannot be committed to NetBSD.”
Am I the only one skeptical about modern developers focusing so much on making AI look and sound like humans? Is it god’s syndrome “create them to reflect their image” kind of thing? Because what I need from AI as an individual is do the mundane tasks and be recognizable. I don’t need it to be able to impersonate a virtual friend or anything.
When OpenAI created its “Superalignment” team in summer 2023, the goal was for it to “steer and control future AI systems that could be so powerful they could lead to human extinction,” reports @engadget. “Less than a year later, that team is dead.”
Jan Leike, one of the team’s leaders, who quit earlier this week, posted a scathing statement on X showing the internal tensions between the safety team and the wider company.
“OpenAI is shouldering an enormous responsibility on behalf of all of humanity,” he wrote. “But over the past years, safety culture and processes have taken a backseat to shiny products.” Engadget has more.
Yeah this is the "Politically Correct" "tuning" of the model making it go "crazy"
I asked ChatGPT 3.5:
How much more lifting capacity in a dirigible does Hydrogen gas have vs. Helium gas?
Had to argue with it when GPT constantly said that Helium had more lifting power and was a lighter gas. (and kept pushing the "it's also SAFER" at me over-and-over.)
(Correct answer is: 8% more gross lift from Hydrogen for a given volume of gas.)
Trying something new, everyone is guaranteed an interview! Open interviews! For a limited time no one will be skipped (except for clear cases of abuse).
So we still have about 10 more 100% remote positions to hire for full-time market-fair positions here at QOTO/CleverThis.
100% remote, work from anywhere, even the beach, market-fair offers. Ethics first, we treat our people like family.
We have an urgent need for Machine learning experts with a background in NLP and Deep Learning (Natural Language Processing and Neural Networks). There is a focus on Knowledge Graphs, Mathematics, Java, C, looking for Polyglots.
We are an open-source first company, we give back heavily to the OSS community.
We need everything from jr to sr, data scientist to programmer. If your IT and your good, you might be a fit.
I will personally be both your direct boss, and hiring manager. I am also the founder and inventor.
The NLP position can be found at this link, other positions can be found on the menu bar on the left:
If you would like to submit yourself for an interview, which for a limited time I am guaranteeing you will get a first stage interview, then you can submit your application here, and even schedule your interview as you apply, instantly!

#NetBSD joins the ranks of software projects that ban #AI generated code.
How they are going to enforce such ban is an obvious question lingering in the air.
Does it include only cases like “hey #ChatGPT write a suite of unit tests for this class”? Or also cases where #Copilot simply autocompletes a for loop while I’m typing it?
In the latter case, how would a hypothetical reviewer enforce the ban? How would the for loop autocompleted by Copilot, or the boilerplate population of hashmap values, look any different than one I would write myself?
And if the issue is with any code that isn’t directly written by a human, then why stop at modern AI generation? Why not include LINTers and traditional IDE autocomplete features?
I have no doubt that the projects that are announcing these no-AI policies have good intentions, but it’s probably time for all of us to have an honest talk.
Code completion isn’t a clear cut binary feature. It’s a big spectrum that goes from the old exuberant ctags to ChatGPT writing whole classes.
And code completion shouldn’t be banned. If it makes a developer more productive, and if the developer understands the code that is being completed, then such bans are akin to a “drivers should only use cars with manual transmission because we feel that it’s more manly”. It’s a conservative and elitist act of shunning out new productive tools because we can’t understand them and regulate them properly.
And more people need to call out the bluff: in cases where the AI only completes a few lines of code, its basically impossible to tell if that snippet was written by a human or an AI assistant.
"Code generated by a large language model or similar technology, such as GitHub/Microsoft's Copilot, OpenAI's ChatGPT, or Facebook/Meta's Code Llama, is presumed to be tainted code, and must not be committed without prior written approval by core."
#ChatGPT-4o vient de sortir. Forcément on s'est un peu amusé avec.
On vient de lui faire passer un test de description d'image. Et faut avouer que c'est assez impressionnant.
Ça semble être un bon outil pour fournir des ALT complet aux images.
Qu'en pensez-vous ?
I was granted early access from on high to the MacOS #ChatGPT app. It's pretty slick, albeit barebones, and comes with a nice default keyboard shortcut to bring up a launcher / prompt box.
Haven't had much reason to play with GPT 4o yet. Curiously the Mac app defaults to GPT 4. I thought I read that 4o is faster AND cheaper, but I suppose it's still being rolled out. The option's there if I want to manually switch to it.
Just heard a new track from Eddie Vedder so I was curious about his band Pearl Jam, touring and the conflict with TicketMaster. I asked ChatGPT which was helpful, but what was interesting is there are now links to sources which I often do not get in these responses. Linking to the source material is one key different just using Google. Perhaps this is a change which will help drive traffic to websites and address some of the concerns with OpenAI and ChatGPT.
