I'd love to see a pre-AI fork of the Linux kernel.

Be the change you seek in the world.

I think some of the BSDs have no AI clauses.

I ran it all through Slopscore and consulted open-slopware, and here are the results:

⬛ Linux has at least 2,274 slop commits, to date.
🟧 FreeBSD has at least 53 slop commits, including some from Anthropic themselves.
🟨 OpenBSD and NetBSD have a couple of slop commits, but nothing colossal. NetBSD also requires any AI-generated code to be signed off by the core maintainers.
🟨 DragonFly BSD has at least three slop commits.
🟥 MidnightBSD has at least 292 slop commits.
⬛ NextBSD is entirely vibecoded.
🟩 MirBSD has an anti-AI policy, but only supports i386 and SPARC, and is currently unusable anyway.
🟩 HyperbolaBSD has an anti-AI policy, but hasn't been released yet (they're still a Linux-libre distro).
🟩 CoffeeBSD is a slop-free fork of FreeBSD, but has had no commits since it was forked.

I guess that settles it you'll never have a decent kernel without AI code.

[-] heliotrope@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 hours ago

Idk about that. Hyperbola's BSD kernel is looking good, and Haiku is coming along nicely.

[-] ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 hour ago

Redox OS also has an Anti-AI policy, I believe.

[-] heliotrope@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 hour ago

It does! Also, 9front and ironclad have anti-AI policies, and illumos is untainted (though does not mention anything about AI in its CoC).

[-] endofline@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 day ago

You can do it always

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 2 points 22 hours ago

Okay, that was always an option.
