@Athena The list of software projects for and against LLM code is heartbreaking.

@Athena@chaosfem.tw The policy is basically that you can't post any LLM output to the Rust project.

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@chaosfem.tw The Rust project forbids you from using LLMs for anything you're trying to submit to the Rust project. What more do you want?

@neia I want them to not have a “and you can’t say true things about LLMs” policy, not have a section about experimental usage that is clearly trying to work the hole open wider for this garbage, minimum

@Athena Stupid reductive utilitarianism has been the subject of satire since Dickens at least and technophiles do it straight.

@Athena every one of these we see has loads of positive emoji reactions on the no-ai comments and loads of negative ones on the yes-ai ones and i don't see how people can continue to just ignore the pretty clear consensus here

@Athena so I'm gonna actually defend jyn here for trying to get consensus despite the people stonewalling discussion despite thinking that sharing David's quote is indefensible
I wrote about that explicit quote in a blog post also: https://txt.ltdk.xyz/testing-the-limits-of-kindness/
it is cowardly to exclude those topics from discussion, but that's not cowardice on jyn's behalf, it's on the behalf of the people defending LLMs who are responsible for getting the policy merged

@clarfonthey I’ll give your post a read by as far as I can see the cowardice is on the part of the rust team, as a whole

@Athena fwiw I agree with you, just, damage control atm
a large portion of the team is anti-LLM but a few key folks in charge are stonewalling discussion

@Athena also just wanted to comment here because like the discussion was annoying enough as is and while I get the desire to just jump in and call people out it is extremely unhelpful and just leads to more work for the people who are ultimately on your side and have to work with everyone else

@clarfonthey I really need to be taking more notes about who is revealing themselves to be so fucked up right now
Who else would you say, so that I can put them on my “never trust ever” list

@Athena I've been burning enough bridges lately, I'm not going to just call people out for you here
pretty much everyone who has been blocking consensus however has publicly commented on at least one of the available policies, so, feel free to take notes if you want. I'm just not gonna burn bridges for you considering how already fucking exhausted I am trying to propose a separate policy

@Athena if you wanna think that, feel free, but I both have a full alternative policy which does not pull any punches and all you appear to have accomplished is locking the thread so now nobody can discuss anything in it
I just know that when someone controls the space going in and making a mess does not accomplish anything besides you getting kicked out and the janitorial staff being very annoyed, which is kinda what's happening here

@Athena Utterly gobsmacked by the comment restrictions OP tried to set up for that PR.
