it would be very funny if nodejs ends up having a more sensible AI policy than systemd and KDE

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I already have a personal policy of not using any tool written in Node.js unless absolutely necessary. I don't want that behemoth on my system, nor the supply-chain attack surface its package ecosystem brings with it.
If I see a project that looks neat, but is done with Node.js, I immediately look for alternative implementations in other languages. Yeah I'm a snob but so far it's worked out well.
The chaos gremlin inside me wants it to be merged so that Node.js crashes a chunk of the Internet and it'll be like another left pad incident.
