So it looks like the #sbcl project is getting sloppified. Very, very saddening to see. It feels like something is slipping through my fingers, so I thought I should say something publicly.

Evidently Christophe is not interested in shutting this crap down, and when I read his email about it, I pretty much gave up on saying something myself. His stance is hopelessly naïve, and this is only being shown now.

As soon as you get these idiots a gap, they'll wedge it open, and it's already happened.

@shinmera A good discussion:

Ten points if you identify the LLM (or LLM booster? Hard to tell the difference) contributing to the thread.

In that post I had said:

All that the say, I don't think this is a sign of SBCL leadership/maintainers adopting a pro-LLM stance but a one-off rogue contribution.

Well, now I'm thinking I was wrong. If you're not prominently anti-LLM, you in effect become pro-LLM by encouragement. So this turns into an intent/reality debate.

Rethinking some of what I said in that thread. Definitely scratch out the whole "this is probably a one-time thing" line lmao.

@zyd @shinmera We cannot have nice things.
