Drew DeVault has started a fork of Vim 8.2 he calls "classic": https://drewdevault.com/2026/03/25/2026-03-25-Forking-vim.html
The goal as I understand it is both to avoid AI slop, but also some newer features that may still be young enough to require active maintenance. He's expressed the intent to keep up with security issues and bugfixes, but otherwise avoid new features.
It could be a good option depending on how much you use post-8.2 functionality.

This is an old black and white, scanned photo in portrait format of the side of an small rural, Indian Railways narrow-gauge train with numerous people hanging onto the sides of the carriages. Matheran Hill Railway (1989).
On the left side of the photo the train stretches away from the camera and curves gently to the right and its the right side of the train in view. Close to the lens is a vertical, white handrail with the back of a person hanging onto to the side of the train in front of the hand rail. The camera is held out of the train about half a metre and the sides of the few carriages are just visible as are perhaps five or ten more hangers-on. At the front of the train is a small diesel locomotive with a wisp of dark smoke above the engine as it labours hauling the train up the hill. A short distance of the narrow track can be seen ahead of the engine before the rails vanish behind a curve to the right. At the right side of the track is a steep slope about two metres tall covered with patchy dry grass. In the distance, ahead of the train are a few rolling hills with a clear and cloudless sky above.
This is the Matheran Hill Railway, opened in 1907 and covers 21km from Neral to the Matheran, a hill station in the Western Ghats.

Does anyone have any links, podcasts, video, especially writing on deeply examining #AI/LLMs in non copyright spaces? Like, as an example, I’m in the fan fiction community a lot. Yes, of course there are loads of people that will happily generate slop in those/these spaces, but it seems to never be willingly promoted by readers. If it is promoted, it’s purely accidental and or the output was so heavily edited that it transformed into human writing again. This could be purely personal experience but in my case, I find that it really is not a big thing in those spaces. In short, everyone gives it the middle finger by not even acknowledging its existence in those spaces. Not a head in the sand kind of way but just a collective discussing great work instead. The AI evangelist seem to be very bored of these kinds of spaces and I’m trying to figure out if it’s personal experience or not #NoAI #LLM #AntiAI
I was using the Python csv library for a script but decided I should dig into the pandas DataFrame stuff instead.
It was more complex, and it took me awhile to figure things out, and I had to read a bunch of web pages explaining things.
But in the end, I am 100% happy I did it that way.
I did not want to ask some AI/LLM for the answers, or to write the code for me.
Because for me, the struggle and the journey is part of creating something worthwhile.
It’s spring time here, so I’m revisiting phyllotaxis spiral patterns which are visible in some plants as they grow.

More rainbow phyllotaxis spirals. Larger petals with a variation on the light source directly overhead with shadows all around.

Whether you are concerned or not about the harm caused by the technologies pushed on us with the current AI Hype, I highly recommend watching this excellent interview by 404 Media's @samleecole with @alex and @emilymbender from the DAIR Institute: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwBZiuH-1QY
And I say "whether you are concerned or not" because this will affect you one way or another, whether you care about it or not. In fact, it very likely already does.

First account is an LLM abusing the instance, and the second account is the orchestrator of the abuse.
Most instances classify stuff like this as service abuse as well, so I would report liberally

Yesterday my VPS set off a warning, as it was hit by a huge spike in incoming traffic, peaking at 55GB at 2:15pm and lasting for an hour.
Upon investigating, it turns out it was my PeerTube instance that was targeted.
Where did the traffic come from?
meta-externalagent (aka Meta's web crawler which is used to grab content to train its AI system).
I feel a little bit violated thinking my Fediverse promo video was grabbed by it, sigh.

Tired of Enshittification? Take your knowledge offline.
I am currently self hosting a @kiwix instance on my homelab. Having local, searchable copies of Wikipedia, the ArchWiki, and iFixit feels like a cheat code for digital sovereignty.
Spin up the Docker image, grab your ZIM files, and stop relying on big tech to keep the lights on for your reference data.

Reading through Anthropic's official repo for giving agents various "super skills"[1]... There's an "algorithmic art" skill and the instructions are explicitly encouraging pure deception as one of the key "critical guidelines":
"The philosophy MUST stress multiple times that the final algorithm should appear as though it took countless hours to develop, was refined with care, and comes from someone at the absolute top of their field. This framing is essential - repeat phrases like "meticulously crafted algorithm," "the product of deep computational expertise," "painstaking optimization," "master-level implementation.""
https://github.com/anthropics/skills/blob/main/skills/algorithmic-art/SKILL.md
For someone who's been working in this field for almost 30 years, this "skills.md" file is just the worst... and so far off the mark! 🤮
Touch some effing grass, Anthropic (and all boosters)! How can so many people think this approach is _the_ future? The map is not the terrain...
[1] Alone the premise of this repo is pure comedy gold and pure sadness in equal measures!

Dear Fedi friends,
I'd like to put together a list of people who are publicly resisting / calling out LLMs and AI slop.
Why? I enjoy reading my Fediverse feed in topical lists and I need something to counteract the unrelenting AI hype I see in the media.
Do you have any recommendations?
So far, at the top of my list I have:
@timnitGebru @emilymbender and @alexhanna of @DAIR
plus @cwebber @jaredwhite and @tante
Anyone else to recommend who advocates for #NoAI?
The fact that browsing without built-in AI seems like such an innovative thing these days, should make us all think twice.
Keep exploring!

@_elena especially for the environment but also other aspects connected to that: @gerrymcgovern who also wrote this book: https://gerrymcgovern.com/books/99th-day/
@cwebber @_elena @timnitGebru @emilymbender @alexhanna @DAIR @jaredwhite @tante
I have been appreciating your well considered takes!
I hate the AI hype. The bubble is bad. The effects on creative work and the environment is depressing.
But I am not looking for strict #NoAI content, but well reasoned and researched critical content. As an Electrical Engineer my interest is in understanding the state of the art. I can't learn this from those who refuse to look behind the veil.
@_elena @timnitGebru @emilymbender @alexhanna @DAIR @cwebber @jaredwhite @tante me to Elena. I feel like I'm actively swatting the "use ai now" flies. Would love to be kept in the loop of #NoAi

@_elena @timnitGebru @emilymbender @alexhanna @DAIR @cwebber @jaredwhite @tante not sure if this counts, but I am adamantly #NoAI! all of my videos on @groupnebula563@cuddly.tube are proudly AI-free and my https://hit-counter.net project won’t provide counters to sites containing AI content! :)
@_elena @timnitGebru @emilymbender @alexhanna @DAIR @jaredwhite @tante I would clarify also that I am not quite #NoAI in terms of AI tech, but I am definitely opposed to the *AI industry* and this hype wave. There may be various useful things from this tech, but the net version of things with it being forced upon society right now in this hype wave is that everything is getting much worse, and sickeningly so.
Several more pieces need to be added to the puzzle to make "AI" tech more useful, and I'm also simply opposed to a direction in society that dismisses and devalues creative endeavors, which a lot of this hype is putting at the center of itself. Creativity is what makes life largely worthwhile. I'm not willing to give that up.
I have no problem with OpenImageDenoiser in Blender, which speeds up renders through machine learning, and in no way devalues creativity. But something which made it so I just typed a few words into Blender and it did all my artwork for me, I would oppose.

Watching a YouTube video that seems like it was definitely NOT written by AI, or edited or otherwise made by AI, etc.… except that the voiceover sounds like it. It's very informative; the script itself had to have been written by a human.
Are we getting to the point now, where people will do all of the work themselves, and then let the AI voiceover say it all for them? If so, why; so that no one can then use AI to clone their voice?
I find it sad if that is actually the reason, but I also get it. It's something I've thought about myself, although the idea that gave me was to use multiple voice changers; same problem, though. It's sad that that's a perfectly reasonable thing to consider at this point, I think.
