cited as reason to allow LLM contributions experimentally: Instead of using ethical concerns as a basis for policy, we should justify policy on the basis of how something is impacting our ability as a project to deliver a really great programming language. if the orphan grinder lets us make a better programming language then FIRE THOSE BABIES UP

@Athena@chaosfem.tw so I'm gonna actually defend jyn here for trying to get consensus despite the people stonewalling discussion despite thinking that sharing David's quote is indefensible I wrote about that explicit quote in a blog post also: https://txt.ltdk.xyz/testing-the-limits-of-kindness/ it is cowardly to exclude those topics from discussion, but that's not cowardice on jyn's behalf, it's on the behalf of the people defending LLMs who are responsible for getting the policy merged
