so #emacs has a temporary ban on LLM contributions, but only while they wait for GNU to finalize a policy for the whole organization
myself and many other Emacs users don't have a lot of faith in GNU at this time; the ethically sound policy is very simple, and we feel that if they were going to the right thing, they would have done it by now
with that in mind, in the event that they do allow LLM code in Emacs, we will continue to use and develop a separate version of Emacs which is not contaminated

@technomancy@hey.hagelb.org I thought, you'd end the sentence in "then we'll use vim" 😂 That'd be a REAL revolution. 😂 Good luck with the project (and maybe that it actually will never be needed) I'll keep it in mind for an emacs user if I ever come around one. ❤️

@technomancy@hey.hagelb.org There will be a whole lot of forking going on, and lists if people to not include in your project. #AI is soldiers not workers. Whole lot of forking.
