  "transcript": "After [temporarily banning LLM-related content over April](https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1s9jkzi/announcement_temporary_llm_content_ban/), and [asking you for feedback on that ban](https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1t4odyl/looking_for_feedback_on_ai_content_in/), we've decided to bring about an end of the temporary, I-can't-believe-it's-still-April ban on AI-related posts.\n\nReplacing the trial rule is a new shiny rule that refers to our new shiny [AI policy](https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/wiki/ai-policy/). In short:\n\n> Content about AI and LLMs are considered off-topic with the sole exclusion of **deeply technical** content about implementation.\n\nAnd if you want more detail than that, go read the policy, that's what it's there for.\n\nIn addition, when writing that rule, I realized the rules weren't listed on the [old.reddit.com](http://old.reddit.com) sidebar, so that's been updated. For those of you who are seeing those rules for the first time, everything there is not new. We've been enforcing those rules as best we can for ages. You can click the link above those to get to the old.reddit rules page, with plenty of info that doesn't exactly read well when crammed into a sidebar.\n\n\n\n--- Top Comments ---\n\n\n[1 upvotes] Alright, so the wiki is goddamn broken, because of course it is\n\nUntil someone fixes it, here's the current text of the policy:\n\n\\# The policy\n\n\n\nContent about AI and LLMs are considered off-topic with the sole exclusion of \\*\\*deeply technical\\*\\* content about implementation.\n\n\n\nThis means that we will remove content such as:\n\n\n\n\\* a review of a new AI assistant tool or model version\n\n\\* debates about whether there's any use in learning programming anymore, or whether the programming industry is over, or whether CS students can function without AI tools, or whether the junior developer career will exist next year\n\n\\* news of the latest project to implement an AI policy\n\n\\* Linus complaining about bad AI-generated code\n\n\\* debates about whether AI is alive\n\n\n\nWe'll generally allow \\*\\*deeply technical\\*\\* content including e.g.:\n\n\n\n\\* a deep dive into transformer architectures\n\n\\* applying machine learning techniques to new problem spaces (but \\*not\\* applications of existing LLM tools)\n\n\\* improvements of ML algorithms using new mathematical tools\n\n\n\nNote that this is \\*in addition\\* to applying the subreddit's general rules, such as a ban on \\*LLM-generated\\* content and off-top\n\n[129 upvotes] Clicking on the AI policy link says the wiki is disabled by the mods.\n\n> This page has been disabled\n\n> The mods of this community have disabled this wiki page\n\nI'm using the android app.\n\n[123 upvotes] Good, this sub more than any others is one I have to report posts on a daily fucking basis, because of the reason for this rule.",
