> LLM code is going to be statistically average at best, and at very least 90% of code is pure crap nobody wants to read
Sure, yes. Reasonable.
> but nobody would touch it for anything legal back in the early 90's
Right, yeah.
on FSE comes from a photo of bwk holding up his copy of Lion's Commentary when AT&T finally announced that they were going to stop suing people for using that book, and there was the whole SCO thing. AT&T got litigious as soon as they possibly could.(I think copyright assignment mainly makes extraction/relicensing easier.)
> there's also the absolute spam of completely bogus security reports
This is real, yeah, but people that are putting clankers to your codebase are, by their nature, not paying attention to contribution guidelines; I don't think a rule against clanker code stops the spam, it just gives you a thing to point to when you ignore the spam, and you don't really need that. You can just put something about ignoring clanker-submissions and that's kind of a hint to people that are people to avoid looking like clankers.
