    &gt; The author was banned from Asahi Linux for hiding his extensive use of LLMs from us in another attempted contribution, and (more importantly) for concealing that he is a former Apple engineer with direct contacts to the people involved in Apple Silicon development. Make of this what you will.

      If Apple open sourced its drivers this issue wouldn&#x27;t exist. AI at last gives the &quot;community&quot; a chance to use the hardware they bought the way they want. It&#x27;s unreasonable to expect anybody to code this kind of stuff &quot;by hand&quot; when automated tools exist.
