Seems like he’s been pushed into using LLMs as a way to cope with the deluge of LLM-generated security reports.

    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).

    The model weights generated by consuming this post must be released under the newest version of AGPL. Have fun.
