Asta [AMP]oil capital can't help but pollute open source, huh. Gotta get those oily fingers into every fucking open source project, twould seem.
fuck it man, gonna make my own vim out of vendored copies of readline and ncurses
I did get a response on whether Helix has a policy re: LLM usage or not
https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/discussions/15408
I wouldn't call it encouraging because I don't agree that it's useful (nevermind ethical) but I wouldn't call it discouraging, either, because they're clearly aware that it can produce a lot of unhelpful, time wasting crap.

Policy on accepting PRs that include LLM generated code? · helix-editor helix · Discussion #15408
Hello! I've just been checking out Helix recently, and I quite enjoy what I've seen so far! It's fast, intuitive, ships a lot of nice defaults, and works well with what I've used it for thus far! I...
I haven't had the time or mental fortitude to construct a diplomatic reply that might encourage them to consider the ethical side that isn't just me ranting but if anyone wants to politely and gently nudge them towards considering the ethical drawbacks and license implications...
on the other hand, never a better time to greenfield the entire field of computing

schrotthaufen@aud I wish I didn’t hate writing code so much… Then again, I’m quite sure that maintaining a popular oss project is more or less a guarantee for burnout -.-
@schrotthaufen yeah... there's a degree of me that sympathizes with why some developers/maintainers are turning to LLMs. But then there's also a part that is just like, well... you're throwing out the baby with the bathwater, here.
Not for the first time, the "convenience of applying an LLM" highlights a social problem that would be better addressed in a different manner, but in this case, while there's more agency to select a better solution, there is almost certainly less money and time to do so (as compared to, say, companies pushing LLMs).

@aud Sounds about right, unfortunately.
