the webpage fills vibecoded in the worst way tbh; i don't think that's attractive to the current gen of emacs users maybe it targets net new users?

I'm interested in a multi threaded emacs. This landing page made sure I lost interest in this attempt. JFC, who wants animations in their editor? Also, I set prefers reduced motion on my browser. Pages that are filled with useless animations in spite of my preference tells me the dev is either incompetent as they cannot handle basic accessibility or an asshole because they just don't care.

It's ironic that a community that uses a program originally developed at the MIT AI Lab, extensible in the traditional programming language of AI, would hate AI. Richard Stallman prefers to call AI "Pretend Intelligence". https://github.com/SimHacker/moollm/blob/main/designs/PRETEND-INTELLIGENCE.md https://github.com/SimHacker/moollm/blob/main/designs/PRETEN... Richard Stallman proposes the term Pretend Intelligence (PI) for what the industry calls “AI”: systems that pretend to be intelligent and are marketed as worthy of trust. He uses it to push back on hype that asks people to trust these systems with their lives and control. From his January 2026 talk at Georgia Tech: https://youtu.be/YDxPJs1EPS4?t=641 https://youtu.be/YDxPJs1EPS4?t=641 "So I've come up with the term Pretend Intelligence. We could call it PI. And if we start saying this more often, we might help overcome this marketing hype campaign that wants people to trust those systems, and trust their lives and all their activities to the control of those systems and the big companies that develop and control them." — Richard Stallman, Georgia Tech, 2026-01-23.

  RMS aside, there are a fair number of AI enjoyers among the emacs community.
