In practice
* Contributions including LLM-generated content will be declined.
* LLM-generated text (e.g. commit messages, issue comments, forum posts etc) generated by LLMs will be flagged, and ultimately deleted.
* We encourage asking each other questions and working through problems to promote collective knowledge and creative ideas (never telling each other to "just google it").
* We strongly discourage others from forking/importing our projects into corporate AI platforms, including Microsoft Github.
* All contributions must be submitted by a person who understands the changes, is happy to answer questions about them, and where possible, help maintain the code in the future.
* In community discussion channels (at the time of writing, this refers to the uzu discord server), all discussion (including criticism) of LLM technology and use should be kept to designated channels

Strudel has adopted a post-ai humane policy for live coding development:
All community members should be treated with respect and kindness. We welcome contributors to the community who are ready to follow this policy as well as our code of conduct.
Principles
* We wish to protect the humanity of our communities and projects, to support the motivation and well-being of all of its contributors and users.
* To this end, contributors and other users of our projects should not have to engage with LLM-generated code and text as part of their community work.
* We recognise that LLM-based scraping and generation of (A)GPL code shared by ourselves and others is of questionable legality. For example, under many juristictions, LLM-generated work does not have a copyright holder and can therefore not be licensed under the (A)GPL.
* A contributor's personal use of LLMs and related technology is their own business, whether for research, analysis, bug discovery or other assistive technology, so long as the output is not included in any contributions to our projects.
