@Athena Ah good. Now I don't need to learn Rust.

gettin’ myself banned from the rust github https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-forge/pull/1040#issuecomment-4460618392
@Athena "If you trust our judgement for creating a compiler that works safely and reliably, I ask you to also trust our judgement that we can allow LLMs in a way that doesn't affect that safety and reliability. " excuse me WHAT?

@Athena Well, that sure is one way to kill a language... jesus fucking christ.
Guess we're all back to C++ with memory protection extensions then.

@Athena@chaosfem.tw And yet that policy actually misses an important use case for LLMs: non-native speakers (or people with dyslexia) using them to "proofread" and fix mistakes (orthography, grammar, style) in their own text. Basically machine translation from English to English.
Having to post the original English text would defeat the purpose of not wanting "to look like a moron" who misspells every third word.
Obviously this use case is rather limited, and as a user, one must then verify one still "owns" the resulting text, and that it remained in one's own general style - just more correct. And of course pre-LLM tools exist for the same purpose, and it also applies vice versa - some tools may use an LLM internally and the user may not even know that. As an example, right now I don't know how the grammar checker of LibreOffice works, and as a user I should not need to care how it is internally implemented, provided it fulfills the necessary invariants (primarily to only fix concrete issues in the text, and to not rewrite the entire thing in someone or something else's style).@divVerent @Athena spellcheck has been around forever and non-LLM-based ones are a lot less likely to turn misspellings - or *unusual, correctly-spelled words* - into other superficially similar word-forms that end up changing the message
(although i still remember MS Word's grammar checker always telling me to use "form" instead of "from" where i obviously meant the latter so it wasn't exactly good then either)
> I should not need to care how
this is the kind of user known as "part of the problem" -

I cannot believe I have to say this but DON’T HARASS, THREATEN OR ESPECIALLY STALK ANYONE OVER THIS. Or any programming language shit. that’s not okay. What the fuck is wrong with you people.

@Athena honestly, this feels like an excellent first draft to be starting from, and I'd be pretty wary of any proposal that strays from the spirit here.

@Athena unless someone is literally stalking sam altman -- and we _all_ know they're not -- they're taking out their anger on the wrong target, even if that target is the biggest LLM advocate that ever walked the earth

@Athena LLM people saw the scene in Snowerpiercer where the kid is part of the engine and were like "yeah, let's do that".

@Athena Die Linke Baden-Württemberg recently banned internal usage of A.I. altogether ..for now.

@Athena "Friendliness" is a choice for categorizing projects and their moral and ethical stance on a heated issue.
"War-friendly"
"Disease-friendly"

@Athena What if I explain to TÜV that LLM tainted compilers should make everything they compile be considered LLM output for the purposes of their review and V&V requirements. I'm sure everyone using rust for safety critical firmware would love the extra scrutiny (and associated costs).

@rl_dane @reiddragon @Athena pretty much they’re equal enough wrt eugenics, but TESCREALists often “excel” in more than one field

@stag oh I read the context paragraphs; I also super disagree that they make it any better

@stag the (checks notes) linked zulip discussion I am not allowed to see

the reasoning is “GitHub isn’t the right place for ethical discussions, do it on the zulip”

@Athena this should be the policy for a lot more than just rust.
-
cited as reason to allow LLM contributions experimentally:
Instead of using ethical concerns as a basis for policy, we should justify policy on the basis of how something is impacting our ability as a project to deliver a really great programming language.
if the orphan grinder lets us make a better programming language then FIRE THOSE BABIES UP
@Athena I am suddenly less interested in their policy on LLMs and more interested in their policy on ethics. Excluding ethical concerns as a basis for policy is what you do when you know your preferred policies are unethical. Any project which accepts such an exclusion should be treated as a threat.

@ShadSterling the given reasoning is “well some people say it’s good so there’s no way to know if it’s really good or bad and we all just have to agree to disagree about the ethics”
