So was it about high resource use, or a principle?

What about the breathing of people creating by hand with a sprinkle of an LLM?

Indeed, a better one where you manage directly the issue you claim to care about

My interpretation is that the resource usage should be roughly proportional to the human activity involved. That wouldn’t restrict resource usage by any individual project, which might be a popular project with many contributors and a lot of activity, but the resource consumption needs to be justified by corresponding human effort and interest, which LLM usage doesn’t exhibit.

In this corresponding blog post, one point made is that LLMs tend to LARP big-project infrastructure on small projects. They use the resources for something like GNOME but they aren't actually GNOME so they don't have any excuse for it.

Both. They noticed the high resource usage of LLMs and decided that LLMs, in general, aren't worth supporting.
