Fuck AI

First of all these are just guidelines not laws, and they seem fairly reasonable to me.

All #3 is really saying is "even if you personally know better, don't be an elitist asshole, the contributor may be an ignorant newbie (possibly even an actual child) trying to contribute the only way they know how, assume ignorance and educate them instead of attacking and shitting on them"

It isn't even saying you should consider (much less that you have to) accept their contribution. It just means try to remember that this is an actual community of actual humans and all of these humans were new once, and even if we remember being young and stupid ourselves, we weren't raised in an informational environment as hostile as the one the tech giants have caused children to be raised in today. People need to be deprogrammed, they're not going to come out of the box hating AI or even understanding it properly, they don't have the tools and the experience and the understanding, that doesn't make them failed humans, that makes them victims, and some of them need our help, not our hatred.

If somebody is trying to contribute to an open source project, even if it's in a stupid way, they're already inherently more salvageable than 99% of the people on the internet. You are doing yourself and everyone a disservice if you drive them away.

Why are you quoting item #3 from their list without the full context of the statement? They aren't saying the code should be accepted or used. They are basically saying don't automatically assume malicious intent on the contributor and instead use it as an opportunity to potentially teach that contributor about why that kind of contribution will be rejected and what they could do instead. It's all about outreach.

Interesting that it's the FSC and not the FSF coming out with a statement

Way back when in 2015, I assigned all my past and future copyrights to any contributions I made to Debian-owned projects (including any packaging work I made, etc) to the SFC, because our values aligned at the time, and it made sense. Following this post of theirs, I sent them an email asking them to reassign copyright back to me going forward.

I have not contributed to Debian in years, and the chance of me doing so in the foreseeable future is slim, but I could not stand and watch without sending a message.

I will continue to tell anyone who dares come close to my projects with an LLM to fuck off, and will ban them from any spaces I have control over. "AI" companies have caused immeasurable harm to FLOSS projects, not shunning them is ceding ground to them. And when you let them in, sooner or later, only they will remain.

I'll stick to people, thankyouverymuch.
