> absolute position of hating something such as AI and progress

Most takes I've seen are far more nuanced.

Key is that 'progress' has a positive connotation. It is different from change. Mere change - such as new inventions - may not necessarily be aligned with progress in a field, society, etc.

Change may be inevitable, but it's up to us humans to sculpt it into progress.

But I am talking about Zig and others who have the same stance. Zig has a very strict No LLM / AI contribution policy and it likely got in the way of the Bun maintainers at Anthropic. From [0]

>> No LLMs for issues.

>> No LLMs for patches / pull requests.

>> No LLMs for comments on the bug tracker, including translation.

		They don't hate it. There's no antagonism that I know of there. I believe they want it to be fully human-authored and want low-hanging fruit items to be good onboarding for developers, not targeted by AI contributions. Simon Willison wrote a good blog post on it: https://simonwillison.net/2026/Apr/30/zig-anti-ai/ The Bun pull request was refused for additional reasons: 'AI is entirely beside the point here...': https://ziggit.dev/t/bun-s-zig-fork-got-4x-faster-compilatio... None of this is, in the original comment's text, "hating... AI".
