| Currently the top one has a nice kind of supervillain flair to it: > Denying it is denying human nature, Mr. Bond, and the gods tend to punish the hubris of denying nature. |

| Lwn.net is the last place I would have expected prophets to lecture us on gods plan for large language models. |

| It's nuts how strong the reactions are. This is a rather permissive policy: tests and changes 15 lines are fully allowed. |

| ▲ | agentultra 9 hours ago | parent [-] | | I believe there’s a small minority of LLM users who will show up to any comment thread and scream bloody murder if you post any kind of policy limiting LLM use. They seem to feel like it’s a personal attack and must justify their use of LLMs… for absolutely no reason. It’s wild. | | |
| ▲ | ethin 9 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Yep, same for those LLM creators who get all pissy when you provide (constructive) criticism about what they've outputted (or ask reasonable questions like if the person is doing actual tests) and they get all offended and call you ungrateful. This happened to me with the author of a Godot GDExtension: I'm (pretty sure) the dev was vibe-coding it, so after like 4-5 releases of it not loading in the editor at all due to what I would consider basic mistakes, I bluntly asked them if they were actually testing their code and got told I was ungrateful and being rude and disrespectful and all that even though what I was asking was very reasonable (after all, the dev had repeatedly released versions that wouldn't even load in the editor). | |

| ▲ | sodapopcan 8 hours ago | parent [-] | | It's like a gun enthusiast throwing a fit because you don't want them to bring their gun into your house. "I get that you find it useful to have a gun at your house, and I understand that we are never going to revert back to the days when guns didn't exist, but we don't allow them in this house." (and not, I'm not slyly trying to say LLMs are like guns, yeesh) |

| My heuristic that any argument, regardless of the topic, that relies on 'it's just human nature' is bullshit keeps being proven right. |

| I believe LWN comments are chronological, so the top one will remain the top one. |

| That guy is stupid, the part of human nature containing dishonesty also houses "following the path of least resistance", which means that these people will simply contribute to another leading compiler without these rules. So the real question is: what's LLVM policy? |
