@davidgerard My screen reader is pronouncing LLM as "Master of Loss".
Go figure.
Stability in an open project and as a grandfather core release has been Debian's cause of success, using an LLM toolset is an anti-pattern for that.
Unless the learning for that model is strictly managed, which is an anti-pattern for teaching models and in present transformations prone for more random results rather than less.
@simon_lucy i would first assume that the AI bros will AI bro in the most dissolute lgtm manner possible, and every other path is a wild and unfounded hypothetical
we're already seeing the triumphalist messages to literally the debian-developers mailing list, I am first assuming these people are who they are telling us they are
if the restrained version was likely to happen this would not have happened
David, can you point at anything concrete? Maybe I am too dumb, but the closest I found was a retirement announcement in debian-project denouncing it, but again without anything specific.
@maybe_mbk @simon_lucy thinking of this one

the guy was banned immediately, which is good. but that anyone thought this sort of AI bro triumphalism would pass muster at all.
Colour me unsurprised.
The tree of Debian dependent distributions becoming rotten at the roots.
