How about a License/Certification issued by an independent decentralized authority, that certifies that a developer/group is reasonably competent in their use of LLMs for programming. (lemmy.ml)

spoilerWhen I say LLMs I always mean opensource, openweight models not OpenAI/Anthropic/X-AI crap, these companies are trying their darndest to spread misinformation and lobby to quell and prevent the development of these opensource models, they should be punished by creating an alternate ecosystem untouched by the opinions and whims of these feudalistic tech lords

The exam/criteria should be broad and rigorous, The license issued and the exam should be private(tied to a handle not PI name), unique and publicly verifiable.

Right now the onus is on individual projects to take a stance for/against LLM use for any contributions in their codebase.

With all the opinions floating around regarding LLM use for programming(most of which i feel is either misinformation, or technophobia), I think this would at least stem some of the legitimate concerns regarding competency and responsibility.

I think having to get a cert is even worse.

and some will get camped by bots, but that's fine since different projects have different tolerances for contribution quality. I'm thinking like the bluesky moderation system, where each repo can subscribe to a particular pool of vouches in addition to their own. you may have lists for no ai, lists for responsible ai/abides by repo rules, or good intentioned but pure ai and minimal human contribution.
