      @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

        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 oh yes, it has, but you underestimate how many people on the team are pissed about that and want it to change but need to be diplomatic about it so they don't lose their jobs or positions

            like, the tech industry is extremely unfavorable to people who dissent to LLMs and just showing up and complaining that people aren't doing enough is putting these people in impossible positions where they agree with you but are forced to say nothing and let the fascists dunk on you because they can't be so overt about it

            I've been especially frustrated lately because this has been happening to me too, but like, at least I know what the situation is and am working on changing it. again, I'm just pointing out that even though you were extremely tame in the discussion relative to what you're saying here, all you did is invite more folks to throw shit and get the discussion locked so now not even I can comment on it

                @Athena
                You should really pause and reconsider your thoughts when you start any argument with "instead of ethical concerns..."

                    @Athena there's a difference between tone policing and telling people the reality of what's going on

                    I've been tone policed to hell and back and I don't want to tell you what to do. the reality though is that it doesn't matter what I tell you to do because I know the effect; the thread is now locked from discussion and neither of us can participate

                    does that make you happy?

                    like, ultimately, I disagree that playing nice with people is going to be the way to get things done. but I just wanted to let you know just how many people are on the same page with you and to know who you should be putting energy into fighting and who you're just annoying by arguing with

                            and what do you think you’re doing by showing up in my mentions uninvited to scold me for shit?

                            How effective do you think it would be if I did the same to Mr. Wood?

                                @Athena Looking at it a bit more, the argument against basing their policy on ethics is a direct rejection of Kant's categorical imperative, that you should always act as if your decisions are a model for everyone else in an analogous situation. Kant deliberately doesn't take into account whether you will influence anyone.

                                As with any major ethical school, it's easy to find counterexamples for Kant.

                                But that's not relevant in this case, because the Rust Foundation *is* influential, and denying responsibility fails not just as an abstract question but on practical grounds.

                                    At least techbros are finally being honest. Wrong and evil, but at least they're honest about it.

                                      @clarfonthey I am satisfied with the current results of my actions yes

                                      and what do you think you’re doing by showing up in my mentions uninvited to scold me for shit?

                                      How effective do you think it would be if I did the same to Mr. Wood?

                                      @Athena oh, believe me, I'm already mad enough at him for his bullshit

                                      I was mad at jyn earlier for seemingly throwing me under the bus to quote him

                                      and I'm mad at you because now ultimately I do not have a say in this discussion any more and you do not seem to care

                                      but sure. be happy that you've managed to get some clout on social media for complaining to people who already were frustrated with the situation to begin with. I'm not gonna change your mind or even say you were wrong for what you did. I just want you to know that sometimes stirring shit just makes people who were already exhausted more exhausted, and doesn't actually further the cause you were supporting

                                        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 like ultimately it's fucking damning if you think you're just as difficult to convince as someone who uses fascist rhetoric

                                          I'm only talking to you because I genuinely believe you're reasonable and understand shit. would hate to be proven wrong
