a policy enforcing a blanket ban on contributions made with the use of LLMs is not, actually, 'mandating ideological purity'. it is, in fact, the bare minimum to ensure that your project won't be treated as completely radioactive by anyone with morals.

moreover, do not let anyone supporting Appeasement for sam altman and his ilk distract from the point at hand by trying to argue that the use of LLMs is in some way equivalent to choosing a license which allows the project to be used by e.g. defence contractors (i.e., any actual open-source license).

only one of these burns the reputations of those in the commit log to manufacture consent for the slop salesmen.

@fesix if money is a concern you could also get a Sipeed Tang Nano 9K, they cost just 12 pounds and are compatible with FOSS tools, I wrote a wee article about it a year ago (not sure if it's up to date though): https://blog.peramid.es/posts/2024-10-19-fpga.html
