Linux

Fluff and buzzwords to keep the fans indoctrinated.

What annoys me most is that this whole topic is becoming a political thing, with only two camps. As if we don’t have enough issues already.

As a former software engineer, I understand that there are reasons for and reasons against the use of LLM. I can also see that open source projects can get easily overwhelmed by the amount of garbage that gets produced by non-developers. But does it really have to end in prohibiting technology in a technological project? How much politics should affect technology? And where do we draw the line?

Those are novel problems and it will take time until we figure out how to properly handle them. Looking at the past, prohibitions rarely work without proper enforcements. Usually everybody loses in that case.

If only COSMIC wanst kinda trash

They had been becoming irrelevant already, so why not speed it up.

Obligatory disclaimer: They obviously have the right to do this.

edit Hmm, I guess this doesn't necessarily mean their own teams cannot use LLM, just that the outside contributors cannot. Which is a totally valid strategy for dealing against slop contributions that are obviously a real and ugly thing.

it's impossible to tell whether or not AI was used. they should just ensure authors understand what was submitted and can take responsibility for / stand behind it
