"FOSS maintainers are unpaid and don't have the resources to manage large open source projects, they _have_ to use AI to get anything done."

I've seen this take a couple of times in recent weeks, and I've got two things to say about it:

1. We've been able to manage large open source projects for decades in the past, without LLMs.

2. Ever thought about how there may be a connection between "FOSS is unpaid" and capitalism producing trillion-dollar AI companies and more and more billionaires?

@scy Wow, that (the thing you're quoting) is an utterly ridiculous take by someone trying to speak for us with no idea what we actually do or care about.

Just a reminder, whoever you are replying to is blocked on my instance. That means the only thing I know about their opinion is that you disagree with it. That is more than I needed to know. The best way to deal with people that are not contributing is to ignore them

@Duncan @scy I don't see any obvious reason for them to be. I wasn't responding to any bad take by them, but one they quoted for discussion.

@scy Well I don't want others who can't see your post because they don't federate your instance or whatever to think badly of you because you're the person @'d.
