   &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.

      I find it extremely ironic that big corp openly steals IP en masse to build their models but hackers are still concerned about using same models for their reverse engineering work.

      I think at this point the hacking community needs to grow some balls.

         The tiniest bit of contamination can get a whole project shut down and the creators heavily fined if the lawyers are aggressive enough. It&#x27;s not worth the risk to a project like Asahi. Generally the law is going to side with whomever has the most lawyers.

            none of this is incorrect, however, how freaking sad is it that in order to get any OS that&#x27;s not locked down and owned by Apple on the hardware we buy and supposedly own, someone (together with whole open source organizations) has to risk utter financial ruin.

            I hate the new system of no ownership and closed everything.
