It's the Rust Foundation Maintainers Fund, "an initiative we'll shape in close collaboration with the Rust Project Leadership Council and Project Directors
It is surely meaningful that a leadership council and directors got funding before the people who were actually doing the work maintaining the code.
Bankers in America at least don't really do that. What you're thinking of are large investors. People with net worth over 500 million.

LLMs are completely unable to verify.
That's an exaggeration. You can give a LLM access to real things and they can use those real things to verify. I just flatly do not understand why they are not. It wouldn't make them infallible, but it would go a huge way towards improving the situation, and they are clearly not doing it. They could also use non-AI software tools to check up on the AI output. I'd bet that you could even use a plagiarism detection tool for this purpose with little to no modification, but I'd also bet this kind of tool already exists anyway.
All research shows that increased penalties have no positive effect, but make the problem worse.
It also shows that if the penalty is insufficient then they have no positive effect. A fine that people with a lot of money can easily afford is just a prohibition which only applies to the poor, with a license fee. Look to speeding tickets which scale with income for a fair model.
Are you calling for Luigi's release

I'm not against a human doing it, I just don't get why they're not having the software do it, when it's feasible for it to do it.

That's stupid shit.
Fuck that stupid shit.
