lmao here

One thing I find interesting is under “Modern Use” on wikipedia it says:

On January 6 2025, Elon Musk sent a post on X (formerly Twitter) containing the slur. The Montclair State University published a study pointing to a 207.5% increase in posts on the site containing the word r***rd following Musk’s post.[12]

In May 2025, CNN noted that the word was “surging in popularity online among some celebrities and their fans,” and quoted Joe Rogan as saying, “The word ‘r****ded’ is back, and it’s one of the great culture victories.”[13]

As if I didn’t already think that this was a fascist dog whistle… seems like there is actual evidence to back up that while fascism is on the rise, the use of that word is also on the rise. I’ve probably watched / read some shit on this already, and just forgot lol

Chimera has a strong no-AI policy for contributions in all of its repositories. Contributors found using LLMs will be barred from further contributing to the project.

We take objection against the use of LLMs primarily on ethical grounds. This is based on many factors, including societal impact of LLM use, ecological impact, and others. We reject arguments about “useful tools” and similar, because technical aspects can never be considered in isolation.

LLM-using contributions additionally have a disproportionate burden on reviewers, their mental health, as well as project resources, which we have limited amounts of.

Chimera is a small project and has limited control over what upstreams do, particularly due to dependencies and widespread use of LLM usage in projects nowadays. We try to do the right thing when possible, preferring appropriate alternatives and so on.

also if you listen to 10 seconds of any podcast with him you’ll hear him say the r slur like 20 times. when I first heard about him two or so years ago, this was my first red flag. I immediately paused and checked his blog… yep fucking nazi piece of shit
