One of the lessons that many in software strangely never learn is that breaking something while being an asshole gets a very different response from people than breaking something while not being an asshole

And, given how “AI” continues to pour shit on the rest of society, using LLMs is widely going to be perceived as an asshole move

For better or for worse, using LLMs in OSS is going to be seen as an adversarial move that undermines community building

@baldur Some people haven't connected the dots re A.I. . The mass rush for A.I. datacenters is making the PC hobby completely unaffordable, with RAM, Storage, and GPU prices becoming unaffordable for the majority, and building resentment. I think a lot of peeps see using A.I. as supporting the very thing that is hurting everyones pockets right now, especially in some US states where Electricity cost are through the roof for infrastructure upgrades. ones that the A.I. companies should pay for.
