Yes; I was absolutely crestfallen when I caught wind of it being tAInted.
I’m currently investigating alternatives. Redox is anti-AI, but written in Rust. Haiku isn’t really suitable for most folks as a daily driver. ReactOS is basically a toy, and is tAInted anyways.
Of the BSDs, FreeBSD and OpenBSD are both tAInted; Hyperbola is still using Linux-Libre; NetBSD itself is untAInted, but uses GCC (if I recall correctly), and one of its forks, MirBSD, is in the same boat.
If I can build NetBSD using an alternative compiler toolchain, then that would be an excellent starting point for a new OS.
Calling rust tainted… Encryption isn’t tainted because pedos use it. Rust isnt tainted because AI bros use it.
You misunderstand me. Rust is tAInted. “AI” is used in its development.
Ah, a purist. Is any project pure enough for to use? Is a single commit enough to be “tainted”?
I say “yes”, with one exception: if they remove the offending code, the project (as a whole) is no longer tAInted.
And yeah; there are pure projects. NetBSD’s kernel is currently untAInted, but some things in the project (like GCC) are.
I find that to be a impossible standard to put on projects, and creates a community of distrust and accusations.
I found the discussion of Bevy’s AI policy to be quite nuanced and fair.
I hope you find projects that fit your requirements.
The thing is, all of these old and respected projects existed before LLMs. It’s pretty easy to just… ban LLM usage on a project.
Sadly - so is Linux.
