glad to see @liberachat clarifying their policy around LLMs in bots
while they're not banned altogether, channels that have LLM-powered bots are required to clearly disclose this to everyone joining
also really appreciated this angle:
Additionally, we’re going to codify the assumption that an LLM is capable of taking any action permitted by the bot/client whenever prompting occurs, regardless of what the prompt says. This reflects a growing corpus of real-world examples of AI assistants disobeying prompts and deleting important information. One of the practical consequences of this is that AI assistants, agents, and other LLM-driven autonomous clients will be effectively banned from Libera, as the assumption means we must also assume that they may spuriously join channels without permission.

@technomancy@hey.hagelb.org @liberachat@fosstodon.org This is a really well done policy stance overall. From the network management side, I think it’s basically perfect, although I do wish the statement about code contributions simply banned them outright.
