Why are you so sure this is “revisionism”? They’re not trying to rewrite history, they’re trying to explain their staunch policy.
It’s their project, and if they want to carefully select contributors they think will stick around and be a member of the community, then that is entirely their prerogative. This is a viable model for a niche project. There’s no requirement that they invest time and energy to review and integrate every last PR.
Like I said look at the PR’s and the way they are closed off. there were no explanations of this policy then just a “Fuck AI”. If there was a time to take the time to explain this, it was when the first one came through. They didn’t and that’s perfectly fine but circling back later and trying to make a justifiable reason after the fact is either a shitty thing to do to the random people that were trying to contribute and didn’t understand the stance or the stance was only “fuck AI”, then they felt there was a reason they should explain or had to come up with a more palatable explanation later. My thoughts on AI actually don’t matter at all. I have concerns the realistic expectations of this policy but there’s no rules all policies must be maximally realistic. like I said earlier I wish Zig all the best in there endeavor. it just seems like this coming out now after there attitude and lack of explanation is new policy masking as policy that always applied.
Ok, I just searched their codeberg for the word “fuck” and both (yes, exactly 2) closed MRs were, in fact, heaps of LLM puke with no engagement from the “author”. More importantly, both of these were created after the policy was posted.
I think your argument is nonsense. Post evidence if you have it, but I’m guessing you won’t.
