Isn't "soft ban" still a bit harsh? I think it was reasonable take and a good reminder of the purpose of these events.

  > Isn't "soft ban" still a bit harsh? Not necessarily. The take is reasonable but I'm curious about who could be bold enough to actually talk about or disclose their use of LLMs during these events.

    The whole reason for this blog post is because discussion about LLMs does happen already (to the point of being a bit suffocating). see also https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48314145 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48314145

      It's funny (or sad) how I read this as an address about pro-LLM speech when "talking about LLMs" doesn't have to be just that. I appreciate the clarification.

  Only in the sense that community leadership is harsh by nature. ‘We’d rather you didn’t do that’ is the essence of a soft ban and what they’ve expressed as leader here, and even a soft ban muffling topics and therefore a subset of people, which is often seen as ‘harsh’.
