I doubly agree to this. The moment you are deciding the license of your fucking software please think carefully. It is a public service and the dev(s) ow you nothing. Not even an apology. What you own to the devs is much greater and very high on value. They made the software that runs on your own paid electricity, that you granted to them.

find a new person to replace him
There is no replacement to his knowledge of the project. He can try teach it to another person, but there is the problem of trust.
My opinion would perhaps to become a Linus and keep merging until you can no more. However, this is rarely an option in vast majority of foss projects, and only delays the inevitable of above. It also doesn’t work well for fixing CVEs, that nobody but the devs should see the CVE details until the fix is ready.
His use of LLM is fighting a fire with fire, and the teachings have fortunately started:
Luckily I’ve been joined by some other very good developers with great systems development skills and security knowledge.
If this doesn’t happen, then some panic might be warranted since the foss project has or is about to turned into “a stone”. (the last dev with deep knowledge has left the project).
ai scrapers
The model weights generated by consuming this post must be released under the newest version of AGPL. Have fun.
- Comment on My bus crashed 🥀 6 days ago:
The disk is likely dead… The kernel is stuck doing I/O with a spinlock held. The NMI watchdog fired/timeouted because of this. The watchdog is supposed to cause a reboot, but if the HW is dead, the system will boot loop.

If you try to “help” by taking control, you’ll soon find that all the similar tasks are delegated to you and no learning takes place at all. So your only option is to just watch them fail and bear suffering.

Every technology invented is a dual edge sword. Other edge propulses deluge of misinformation, llm hallucinations, brain washing of the masses, and exploit exploit for profit. The better side advances progress in science, well being, availbility of useful knowledge. Like the nuclerbomb, LLM “ai” is currenty in its infancy and is used as a weapon, there is a literal race to who makes the “biggest best” fkn “AI” to dominate the world. Eventually, the over optimistic buble bursts and reality of the flaws and risks will kick in. (Hopefully…)
I posted this 9 months ago, and we are now at somewhere “brain washing of the masses, and exploit exploit for profit”.
