There’s a meme going around that an Open Source project “can’t” prevent LLM use by contributors because there’s no technical means to enforce this. This is idiotic and shows just how disingenuous slopmongers will be when told they can’t just submit slop.

Did you know there’s also no technical means to enforce that you didn’t copy some code you’re contributing from a proprietary codebase and say it’s original work? Somehow we haven’t given up on that!

The enforcement mechanism is exactly the same: There’s no *technical means* to prevent someone from being a filthy fucking liar. But there are *social means* to prevent them from contributing: You make sure that if they’re caught, they’re held publicly accountable for all of the rework and mess that resulted from their lies.

This has worked pretty well for decades in Open Source, and won’t stop working just because slopmongers wish really hard. Fucking scrubs.

@eschaton This is what I dislike most about these bros, they always resort to "you're powerless to stop it", it really says a lot about their character.

@doombloomart @eschaton I literally said this the other day, FOSS has had to deal with this since day one, hell proprietary software developers have had to deal with this since day one. Any submission could be legally risky, this is not a new problem.

@reflex @doombloomart Right?! It’s just the same thing as always, that LLMs are involved does not make the situation novel!
