From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Putting "AI functionality", i.e. the denoising models I developed that are included in Darktable in the same realm as LLM slop is an interesting choice.
I collected all of the training data myself and did all of the training on a university GPU (which is consumer grade, I plan on continuing the work on my own machine). Everything is open (research, data, code) and reproducible.
I'm curious what's the ethical or other issue there.
Edit: I posted a discussion on their issue tracker: https://codeberg.org/ethical-foss/open-slopware/issues/1628 , of course it was closed right away and I was blocked from the repository and my response was deleted and they limited responses to contributors-only.
Looks like ethical AI is too sensitive of a subject for ethical-foss-admin.
I guess people have grown phobia for the word "AI". Nobody even looks for the definition and use. Technically anything capable of computation/problem solving can be labeled as such, if we are willing to stretch the rules far enough. Even mechanical computers. But those are not in the spotlight right now.
