My first instaban for #slop PR to #Gentoo.

Normally, we warn people first, but here it's clearly an untested (and obviously broken) slop contribution by non-Gentoo user trying to push their software all over the place.

As an over a decade Gentoo user who actively uses LLMs I'm just sad.

I'm not against rejecting broken contributions (that's the only sane choice), but that wasn't about it.

That makes me feel unwelcome. Not this post which clarifies reasoning, but that PR you linked to.

And no, I'm not expecting to change your mind. Just feedback.

@skobkin, well, guess what? There's a lot of people who are sad because of all the evil LLM companies are doing. Not to mention all the people who are literally dead because of it. But hey, it boosts your productivity, that's what matters!

You're seeing what you want to see in my words.
Stick a tag to me, leave a note in my profile. Deciding that "ah, one of those" requires less brain energy than trying to actually understand.

@skobkin obviously everyone else is wrong and you couldn't possibly be. clearly you've spent time trying to understand the criticism, and certainly aren't doing knee-jerk reaction!

@atax1a And you on the other hand?

@skobkin spent a lot of time considering the ethics and practice of whether or not the LLM is a worthwhile tradeoff, concluded that it is by and for fascists. hth

@atax1a I see.
So anything I did and though about is meaningless.
Good to know, thanks 🫡
