@joe Sil is a tack to dangerous for my taste. Also you need to get over the remote thing …

@joe ...tempeting. On the one hand, working on LLVM would be awesome, but on the other, I'd have to give up my own project

@xan @joe LLVM is now slopware, unfortunately.

@mirabilos @xan as far as LLM policies go, llvm's is less bad than others. contributors are still fully responsible for any code they submit and must be able to respond to review questions as if they authored it themselves. vibe coders and drive by sloppers still aren't tolerated

if you have zero tolerance for projects with LLM contributions, that's understandable of course

@joe @xan I do. On copyright grounds, on consent grounds, on ethical grounds, on environmental grounds, on humanitarian grounds, and probably more, and pretty much every one or group-of-two of these alone is sufficient to consider them entirely inacceptable.
