The No-AI list - A list of projects that pledged not to use AI or are disrupting it

https://noai.starlightnet.work/list.html

Generative AI, namely LLMs, image and video diffusion models and especially the companies that make them plague the tech industry.

We got tired, so we decided to take things into our own hands and curate a list of projects that aren't complicit in the devaluing of labor by these companies.

Unlike projects that came before us, we want to highlight software that values the labor that goes into creating and not call out projects that use LLMs or Image/Video Diffusion models.

Okay this list seems... Quite shit if I'm going to be honest.

They list there for example Oracle's Virtualbox software, with evidence pointing to a PR that was rejected because it was extremely shit quality, full AI generated code, description etc. also the developer hasn't signed the contract with Oracle that allows Oracle to use the committed code in proprietary projects

Some projects here will be marked like such: ✱, ✱ or ✱

Oh wow, that must be some of the worst colour coding I've ever seen.

Yes, I have that. Still, this is one of the worst cases I've ever encountered in the wild.

You're not missing much: they managed to color Librewolf as proprietary software.

With color coding like that, nobody needs color.

Aren't there browser extensionss that help with that?

Maybe, it really doesn't happen often enough for me to require that kind of assistance.

Will be checking out Vim Classic. Drew DeVault's blog post about the motivations behind it resonated

I mean they have Google blobs so they probably are and you'll never know.

Signal is already fucked. Always has been.
