    The whole "as little AI code as possible" is tribalism.

    I want software that is brilliant and well audited, no matter who or what produced it.

    No AI guarantees nothing, especially if it's a C codebase like netbsd

    After reading the web page, I am left with some questions unanswered,

    * Is it a goal for AlpineBSD to run on native hardware, or is it intended for containers (a major use-case for Alpine itself)?

    * For users who want to avoid AI-generated code, why run this rather than netbsd itself?

    If the team want to attract interest, they should give more context.

    The mission is unclear. The team could address this by stating goals and milestones on the front page.

    There is a link to a tool s6 on the page. The description of that tool opens with a circular definition. It should be clear why it exists in the opening paragraph.

    This AI policy is so utterly backwards and stupid I don't even have a nicer way of saying it.

      Interesting response in light of your previous post, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48197191

      You complain an the shit future we're building. Someone says fuck you to your dystopia and starts explicitly weeding it out, and you call it backwards.
