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.
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.
