you know it’s weird, whenever a project in a controversy about LLMs bans them (servo) people seem to love it in a way that utterly drowns out the doomsaying from the AI boosters. and then when a project says or does something friendly to LLMs, there’s always backlash from a fucking gigantic number of people

Let me know if you experience any issues with accessing the wiki and I try to address it.
