Yeah, I'm aware of FSFLA and Linux Libre, but Hurd is not ready yet and it's being worked on with LLM's (something really anti-GNU, as it's propietary SAAS).

In the end Hyperbola BSD will be more free than OpenBSD and the former GNU maintainers themselves...

I don't really see the LLM use as anti-GNU. It would be no different if the code was written in a proprietary IDE with fancy code completion. GNU doesn't restrict contributors to using exclusively free software for their contributions (if they did, they likely wouldn't have gotten very far considering how much work apple did on GCC). As long as the license is free and GPL compatible, it isn't inherently non-GNU (though, they'd encourage you not to use a SaSS for your own sake)

Now, is LLM code in the hurd a good thing? No, absolutely not. Ignoring the licensing limbo of LLM output that still isn't settled , LLMs make pretty bad code often enough that I wouldn't trust it to work on something as niche and relatively undocumented as the hurd.

A local LLM with GPL compatible input and with options to properly tag the source with a full backtracking of the code? Maybe, but that's not what's happening, but massive license laundering.

I never said anything to the contrary, I agree 100%
