Now reverted

And a promise from Mike[tm]Smith

“I do plan on doing everything I can to help make sure both this thing never makes its way back into MDN in production, and also to help make sure no other thing like this can ever happen again.”

@SteveFaulkner The apology is full of weasel language ("something like this") rather than explicit ("LLM output getting incorporated")... 🤔

@SteveFaulkner And the way you ensure it won't happen again isn't empty promises.

It's firing the AI bro who deployed his toy sewage hose to prod.

@dalias Mike[tm]Smith is solid. He is one of the community maintainers (he also maintains and develops the @w3c Validator). The fault lies with @mozilla treating MDN as their own property and making unilateral decisions.

These people need to be aware and act to ensure the integrity of MDN as a reliable technical reference

@SteveFaulkner @igalia @dontcallmeDOM I’m currently on family holiday, so I hope it gets resolved by the time I’m back to work mid-next week. But it does all seem… awful.

@SteveFaulkner So weird! So, no-one tried it before merging? I used this feature once, at some point this week and thought:

"Well that's useless, I'll never use that again"

SteveFaulkner, 11 months ago

@miclgael the MDN community contributors were not given the opportunity to, is my understanding.

@SteveFaulkner What a colossal blunder. I can only say that.

"Due to a controversial disscussion of this feature we're pausing it
not." ........ NOT???
