@davidgerard@circumstances.run trying to understand what I'm seeing here. Doesn't that guy love AI? Is this a "let them fight" scenario?

@spycrab@kolektiva.social @mrmasterkeyboard@mastodon.social codeberg and self-hosted forgejo are very good options. I don't miss GitHub at all.

@tante@tldr.nettime.org it's good, I just wish they had followed Zig's lead here and gone scorched earth against slop

@fred@social.fthevenet.eu @tante@tldr.nettime.org yes I am immediately skeptical of anyone who uses the term "best practice"

@jonny@neuromatch.social @datarama@hachyderm.io fwiw as someone who refuses to touch these things, I found it both hilarious and highly educational
Replying to
@Mahura @mrmasterkeyboard it is less about specific commits and more about the trend of the maintainers gradually handing their cognition off to the machine. Like, I would not trust someone who I learned drove after having a few drinks, even if they managed to get home safely

@davidgerard@circumstances.run Why probably talks about you a lot. Jay tries to change the subject to some crypto thing but he just won't let it go.

@iain@kolektiva.social @davidgerard@circumstances.run when he's not bragging about how amazing AI is at writing his dogshit blog for him

@lu_leipzig ah shit. I should probably add the freedesktop repos to https://aidirtylist.info/repositories/1

@tootbrute@fedi.arkadi.one @luciedigitalni@aus.social and she calls out his posse of sycophants for letting him win

@Moss@beige.party @erosion@nocturnal.bartels.company I will never understand why people show their asses in public like this. Are we meant to be impressed?

@toolbear https://hachyderm.io/@haubles/116364023562775369 Also worth mentioning, I try to track stuff like this at https://aidirtylist.info Tips are always welcome if you learn anything we've missed
Replying to
@whitequark nice! I will add them to https://aidirtylist.info The more of these hard line policies I see, the more unacceptable I find the ones that only enforce disclosure, not a full ban

@mttaggart@infosec.exchange fair, *exhibits behaviors that are antithetical to learning. Whether they are well-intentioned or not, spending time on an LLM user seems like a bad investment (to me, evidently to Andrew Kelley, and I'm guessing to you as well)
Replying to
@mttaggart@infosec.exchange hmm idk if I buy that there is any scenario where anything other than a hardline approach is in the interest of the project. I think Kelley hit the nail on the head when he said (paraphrasing) that the community is the talent pool. Why train up people who display zero interest in learning? It's a waste of everybody's time.

@engideer @prietschka @zachleat yeah having to try to sound like a human sucks. Lists and em dashes may just be fucked forever, sorry to say. Silver lining, maybe we (people who give half a shit) develop more interesting writing styles
