You should always change doors when playing Monty Hall

    I mean, maybe I am wrong but this seems like a bit of revisionism/justifying previous actions with a more palatable excuse other than fuck AI. Especially when you go and look at the attitude and literal words from the devs in those PR’s (check their github for term AI in the closed PR’s). whether you agree with the sentiment or not the genie is out of the bottle, you can ban it as much as you want but it’s creeping into every part of nearly every project or its dependencies. I genuinely wish zig the best in their endeavour regardless of This bit of “revisionism”.

      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.
