Fortunately blasting negative comments about a volunteer maintainer with an, on the whole, really good track record for an institutional tool is a much simpler action with only obvious positive impact to the state of things and no second order effects to be responsible for.

Given that grunt work in this case (tests with the overall design set beforehand by a human) is code limited in scope and relatively easily verified. I would say the claim is quite plausible and expect the other side to provide the rebuttals.

Very well written and reasonable rebuttal from rsymc maintainer Andrew Tridge
Timnit Gebru was fired from Google in December 2020 for refusing to retract a research paper, and every single warning that paper made about large language models has now happened at a scale the industry spent 4 years trying to make people forget about.

#systemd v261~rc2 is out! We had to quickly do a new RC tag as we noticed an issue in the new systemd-unix-philosophyd component: it was doing two things, unix _and_ philosophy. The issue has been now rectified.
After more than 10 years, @jazzband is sunsetting.
I started it in 2015 because maintaining Open Source alone was exhausting. The idea was simple: shared access, shared responsibility. It's been an honor to watch it grow: 3,135 members, 84 projects, and a lot of code shipped together.

This crusade against #systemd over AI-contribution guidelines is performative.
You'll never know if contributions were AI-generated anyway. Better to require disclosure and clear rules than pretend the problem doesn't exist.
If developers use AI regardless (and they do) make them declare it openly and follow project guidelines.
It's more pragmatic than silence.
I kick off the morning reviewing this document: "#EUSTF: A Study on the Economic, Legal, and Political Feasibility of an EU Sovereign Tech Fund"
A 42,000 words proposal to create a EU-wide version of the German Sovereign Tech Fund/Agency with a 350 million € fund over seven years. To fund critical open source infrastructure.
It even features the now mandatory xkcd 2347 image. https://xkcd.com/2347/
Color me positive.
