Another critical OSS component all slopped up... I'm tired boss.
Of *course* ffmpeg itself has slop commits now. Of *course* it does.

@5ciFiGirl @catsalad
Presumably they've already been using "AI" in their everyday life and are, therefore, effectively brain damaged. By choice, mind you, don't go feeling sorry for them just because they went and shoved an ice pick in their eye socket.
@catsalad "thank you billionaire overlords for indenturing our infrastructure team to your proprietary rental code machine"
free software is not gonna be "free" (in either sense of the word) for much longer
@wizbean @catsalad Slop code is neither free nor open. The extremely nebulous licensing *alone* should preclude anyone using them in OSS. LLMs have ingested code from wholly incompatible licensing schemes such that everything using code generated by an LLM would have to be unquestionably GPL licensed and also absolutely, under no circumstances be GPL licensed.
@wizbean @catsalad It's totally maddening that all these projects were started to provide free alternatives to all the proprietary commercial crap and now they're turning into proprietary commercial crap full of bugs.
I'd say "people will have to start over now" but the thing is, most of these things that are being wrecked now were going for 20, even 30 years — and it's a moving target...
@catsalad, my dear catster in me, ffmpeg was fried since the hostile takeover a bunch years back (the one that lead to libav forking off).
@catsalad computers were a mistake.
@catsalad Oh, for *FUCK'S* sake. Can we have nothing?
