   &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.

      &gt; concealing that he is a former Apple engineer with direct contacts to the people involved in Apple Silicon development

      This is false. I am a former Apple engineer. I did not conceal it (it&#x27;s the top item of my resume and my LinkedIn and I made my PR from my public Github with my name attached, as opposed to a pseudonym which is expressly allowed by Asahi policy). I also had no exposure, at all, to any internal information or code about macOS, SPTM, or Apple Silicon during my time there.

      I also don&#x27;t have connections to people involved in Apple Silicon development (and I&#x27;d add that this does not mean someone cannot contribute, the question is were they exposed to tainted information, which is absolutely not true in my case). I have many friends who work for Apple (I&#x27;m a Stanford alum) but none in Apple Silicon directly.

      I disagree with the phrasing of this entire thing, but this statement is demonstrably false.

         Would you consider taking all of your learnings and translate them into a concrete specification and publish it on your website, so that we can all do our own clean-room from-spec-only implementation?
