According to the thread rsync broke for incremental backups and increases the cpu load heavily. The whole thread only started because people noticed regressions and were wondering what happened.

Since I quite a few users are using distros that won't update for a while it gets even better: this trend may continue and as soon as the update actually happens we'll be so far down the road that it will be too late to take a step back and reconsider due to the delayed feedback. This is pretty much about the few people _already_ having issues with it.

That being said, if the creator wants to use AI to work on the project they are free to do so. I just hope nothing of value is lost because of it.

P.S.: If you stop writing by hand and start delegating - to AI or other people - something has changed. There shouldn't be any discussion about it. Delegation is different than writing it yourself.

Yes, according to the git diff and the comment here https://github.com/RsyncProject/rsync/issues/929#issuecommen....

A change in the sys calls that are used. That's pretty sensitive in general I think; I can see if it were introduced by an LLM why people would be upset if they experienced data loss from it.

Do you think LLM use is evidence of psychosis? I think it's a widespread problem but probably not psychosis.
