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

@azonenberg sure thing 😭

@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 @azonenberg I agree.

@sleepyowl @azonenberg but a few project wont be enough if we want a slop free linux distro. we need to fork the whole stack at this point :(

@f4grx @sleepyowl it could go deeper.

How much slop do you think there is at cadence, synopsys, or TSMC by this point?

@azonenberg @sleepyowl oh no

@f4grx @sleepyowl I legitimately dont know. i see people on linkedin playing with llms for rtl design but I dont know how much has been adopted in industry... given how conservative and risk-averse silicon design people are I expect more inertia
