So I accidentally triggered an online shitstorm in the process of trying to craft a set of more restrictive LLM usage guidelines for KDE. Sorry about that. :/ I’m going to leave the comments …

Personal opinion: Nathan seems to be really side-stepping a lot of concerns brought of up in the comments there. And referring to people coming together collectively in an open-letter when virtually all other channels are closed as ‘brigading’ is… Not cool. Edit: he retracted the use of brigading.

    I have since seen the proposal of a KDE AI policy - and no thanks to the “Nate Graham is bad” party in this thread - and decide to rewrite some of my comments.

    • I personally believe that being against AI goes beyond just code. It’s ethical, political, whatevrer you want to call it. AI sucks, quite literally the life out of people and the ground they’re living on.
    • Unfortunately most FOSS projects concentrate more on code quality etc. in their AI policies, not on these overarching issues.
    • KDE seems to be a little late to the party wrt AI policies written out
    • Their proposal is just that atm and personally I applaude the transparent decision making process
    • There are too many people who are understandably outraged about the whole issue, but go about opposing it in a bad way, distorting or obfuscating facts - as seen right here
    • In the extreme this becomes indistinguishable from trolling and it’s totally understandable that blog or repo owners shut the comment section down
