sbcorvus··on Redox OS has adopted a Certificate of Origin policy and a strict no-LLM policy
I understand the knee-jerk reaction to restrict LLM's, but that feels like a failing prospect. They're going to be doing an incredible amount of heavy lifting on code generation, so why would you intentionally cut out what will likely be 90% or more of potential contributions? Wouldn't it be better to come up with a system that tags the type of contributor, ie. human vs. AI? What about building an Agentic architecture that reduces your review burden? Just a thought.
