I see people taking the part of the Rust RFC thread about LLM use saying "no discussing about envoronment, social consequences, deskilling, copyright, etc" out of context and criticizing the #Rust team for that, like "there's no place for ethics in Rust" when if you read the fucking thing they say it's because they discussed all of that over on Zulip with more than 3000 messages and they consider everything has already been said and the decision already been done, so the Github RFC should stay focused on the writing itself and they are obviously tired.

Decision being, in a nutshell : no LLM ouptut in rust core but you may use it to review or make suggestions because they can't detect that anyway, which doesn't feel like they "don't care".

If you can stop people from using LLMs by the sheer force of your will, please go ahead. If you can't, don't expect it from OSS maintainers and don't drag them in the mud because you consider they're the ones responsible for a shitty world. They're not.
