Unpopular opinion, but I’m coming to the realization that I don’t really care if FOSS projects are experimenting with and leaning into AI. In most cases I am not donating and simply enjoying a product for free. I am no programmer I put trust in their code before, all I can do is continue to do the same. Now, paid software feels different. And I don’t mean donations, I mean if Autodesk started pumping out slop (which I don’t doubt is happening) then that feels far worse.

Plus, I’ve gotten an insane amount of utility out of Claude as a regular dude. If I knew what I was doing a little more, I imagine that would feel pretty cool.

Same. I also appreciate nzb360’s way of handling paid features, it feels novel in a sea of subscriptions.
