<![CDATA[General resolution: LLM usage in Debian: First call for votes: corrected ballot]]>

What do you think it'll happen and what do you want to happen?

Debian developers have been considering a general resolution over LLM usage within the project. After collecting a variety of proposals, voting has now commenced for Debian developers to decide how comfortable they are with AI / Large Language Model contributions in the project or not.

The choices being considered for this Debian general resolution (GR) include:

Choice 1: Ban LLM contributions from Debian via Social Contract

Choice 2: Allow AI-Assisted Contributions with conditions

Choice 3: Reject LLMs as far as practical, update Code of Conduct

Choice 4: Accept AI contributions for Debian specific work

Choice 5: Responsible Use of Generative AI

Choice 6: A cautious approach to generative AI

Choice 7: Debian is created by humans

Choice 8: Avoid the use of LLM: climate destruction is a deal breaker

Choice 9: None of the above

All the details on each of those choices can be found via the Debian.org vote page.

Additional details in this mailing list post with the voting details on the general resolution. The voting period began at midnight and is set to run through end of day 28 August.

How the fuck are they gonna come with a consensus with all these choices?

There's really just choices 1 & 2. The rest are just elaboration. And what the fuck is even 'none of the above'?

Really, there's just 'yes' and 'no'. If it's a 'yes', there would certainly be condition, which can come later. If it's a 'no', who give a shit why; it's a vote, not a fucking book club. They can definitely put the reason in the comment, but do they really need to put the reasons as the choice?
