Clade of “Human Emacs” developers want Free/OpenSource software to be small-batch, handmade, organic, untouched by LLMs

To me it’s rather ironic that the people having this argument are largely working in the archetypal AI research language of the 1960s, 70s, and 80s:

indeed, i have decided that llms are, at every level, an affront to justice, from who makes and profits and pushes them, to how they are trained, to the resources used, to the way they are used, to what they do to people who use them, to what they do to the communities where their use is tolerated. everywhere, and in profound ways, i have looked and seen llms as a destructive force that only exist to empower the few at the incredible, immoral expense of the many.
