@libreoffice The dystopia that the techbros and capitalists are creating will not result in a stable society, it will quickly degrade into a barbaric one.
@libreoffice what is the project’s stance on AI being used on the development side of things? How much code are you allowing to be written by LLMs?
@Jeff @libreoffice To be fair, the AI policy is the most stern I've seen short of outright banning the use of genai, but still, it's not banning genai. It also falls into the pit of "clearly mark it so we can fix it's nonsense" instead of "don't give us it's nonsense to fix".
@Jeff None of the core developers use them. We rely on contributions from the wider community and don't explicitly list tools people can and can't use – but we do require people disclose when they use LLMs and generally discourage the practice. We carefully review submissions by contributors to make sure the code quality is good and that the patch author understands their own code. LLMs are prohibited for students and other mentored work.
@libreoffice what a cool looking robot. who drew that?
@libreoffice And a feature I like and prefer...
@libreoffice wow.
Thank you.
@libreoffice When the best ad is simply being the opposite of #microsoft
@libreoffice absolutely a feature!
@libreoffice it absolutely is. I wouldn't use libre office outside of a heavily firewalled off area if it had any. Let peoples thoughts stay on their own computer!!! You rock LibreOffice!
@libreoffice "Yes, we have no AI" was right there!
@libreoffice libreoffice should be more mainstream 😭
@pri Things are starting to happen 😉 LibreOffice has around 200 million users (we estimate – of course we don't track people). The Austrian Military has moved 16,000 PCs from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice. Similar things are happening in Germany and Denmark. And quietly in many organisations and companies around the world...
@libreoffice Thank you for that 🫶
@wobweger @libreoffice @grvsmth @moskitokoenig
It's still coded using AI, same as what Debian just decided to do.
