The collapse of the #Debian project is going faster than I thought it would.
I was disappointed and horrified by the earlier vote to allow LLM use, but even then, I had no idea it was going to get this bad this quickly.
Forcing all package maintainers to jump through an LLM hoop to upload their packages is scary reminiscent of companies forcing job applicants to jump through LLM hoops to keep their job applications from being ignored.
At this rate Debian will soon be gone.

@argv_minus_one@mastodon.sdf.org @paelnever@masto.es I think it’s honestly super weird and childish to be this upset about the specific use of a technology that’s being employed to save the very limited time of FOSS developers and contributors. We use LLMs (in addition to humans!) to review MRs at my company and it’s actually been decently helpful. What exactly is the problem with this?

@argv_minus_one@mastodon.sdf.org @paelnever@masto.es Oh wow – … Thanks for raising my awareness (I would have never seen this on my own). This looks really bad :(
