How much do you think someone would have to pay redhat and canonical to introduce a no-slop policy including all upstream projects (llvm, systemd, kernel, etc)?

Like if you offered them $100M to permanently ban all of their devs from using LLMs, not merge any LLM generated upstream commits, etc. would they do it? $200M?

@f4grx i suspect mozilla alone would cost more than the community could afford. the rot runs deep

@f4grx @azonenberg it sounds easier and cheaper to hard fork certain projects, and offer a livable wage to some core developers, don't you think?

@sleepyowl @f4grx that's fundamentally the problem, most of these projects are dependent on corporate support to pay for developers and the corporate support has decided thou shalt use slop.

I don't know of another source of funding with deep enough pockets that isn't infected by slop.
