  1. FOSS projects should not shun contributors who choose to use LLM-gen-AI systems.

Fuck everything about this and the liberal horseshit that follows it.

Way back when in 2015, I assigned all my past and future copyrights to any contributions I made to Debian-owned projects (including any packaging work I made, etc) to the SFC, because our values aligned at the time, and it made sense. Following this post of theirs, I sent them an email asking them to reassign copyright back to me going forward.

I have not contributed to Debian in years, and the chance of me doing so in the foreseeable future is slim, but I could not stand and watch without sending a message.

I will continue to tell anyone who dares come close to my projects with an LLM to fuck off, and will ban them from any spaces I have control over. "AI" companies have caused immeasurable harm to FLOSS projects, not shunning them is ceding ground to them. And when you let them in, sooner or later, only they will remain.

I'll stick to people, thankyouverymuch.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
