｢ What LLMs in Debian development will do, I fear, is eliminate any incentive to scrap boilerplate or reform policies that require a lot of other senseless human effort. If I had had access to LLMs 30 years ago, I might have just had them generate the rules files, replate with complexity. So they will make Debian even more firmly what it is, and ever less likely to explore what it could become ｣

@jbz If generating the rules file is free, who still budgets a week to delete half of it?
@debacle, This reads like saying “just because the camel is allowed in the tent, doesn't not mean that all or most of the people in the tent must pay any attention to it”.
Laughable on it's face. Allowing #LLM output into a software project *of course* means imposing those consequences on everyone in that project, it happens today, to countless software projects. It maddens me that people evidently ignore this.
@jbz good quote. I have already heard tech bros start saying “why would anyone create a new programming language when LLMs exist” so that whole vibe is starting to take hold
