    this title is an out right lie. to be fair, the title doesnt actually say the backlash is because of ai but it heavily hints at it. which is not true.

    its surprising because the actual text of the article goes into the actual reasons why the initiative is on hold. (not blocked). including CUDA was a bug issue.

      @terabyterex @cm0002 Yeh, two things I’m starting to really dislike about the #fediverse are epitomised in this post: the need for click-bait to get attention and the disconnect (double in this case) between the original source (a news site) and the appearance of matter in a generic information browser. This is almost as bad as embedded advertising.

          This doesn’t need a software solution. One of the reasons why I like link aggregators (which lemmy is) is because posters can de editorialize post titles, removing clickbait.

          Instead of “Linus SLAMS psycho for DARING to suggest C++ in the kernel” the title can be replaced with “Linus explains why C++ is not suitable for the Linux kernel” when they post it.

          But people don’t really do this, and people get mad at people who do this sometimes.

          Of course, then people can inject bias in their titles. But I would rather not have clickbait.
