just in case: i immensely appreciate the random pearls of highly-specific knowledge that sometimes land here as random comments. thank you so much.

that would be my assumption as well, but i'm sure the business subscriptions have some language that suggests otherwise.

this is obvious bullshit: theoretically, my writing is affected by two factors that might skew the assessment towards it having been generated by an llm: i'm neurodivergent (adhd) and english is not my native language – and i was never accused of using synthetic text generators…

 

tl;dr: nsf requested that python software foundation affirms that they “do not, and will not during the term of this financial assistance award, operate any programs that advance or promote DEI, or discriminatory equity ideology in violation of Federal anti-discrimination laws”.

the psf has withdrawn the proposal instead.
