@davidgerard I can understand AI code reviews of human written code, but the errors typically made in code written by AI have not been quantified yet.

I would think the errors would vary by chatbot model as well.

The recent addition of an AI coded air traffic routing program is the most likely reason for the total grounding of all US aircraft yesterday, because the AI did not consider the overload of the communications channels of the old system.

@davidgerard eventually, it will probably be only rich slopcoders that can afford to buy sufficient tokens.

@davidgerard what always bugged me about llms in foss is how reliant it makes you on big software-service companies, which i thought was exactly the thing free software as a movement wanted to avoid in the first place. i have my qualms with the FOSS movement but it really feels like they're blatantly not even bothering to stick by their own principles anymore

@davidgerard @fname, you were wondering why I was toying with checking out Haiku OS?

@davidgerard @rhelune On some Other Place I have read a very different take on this. Main point was, except the obvious ethical issues (resource usage and related damages), the technical side of gen"AI" usage in this scenario is rather responsible in that it is used mainly to find (serious) security flaws and to check new code; also, all code that goes in has been checked and fully understood by a human.

I don't know the background myself, so what I say here is on the hearsay level. But the takeaway is that there are people who I know are very well informed and very experienced in Linux development have a contrary opinion.

@davidgerard Jesus tap dancing Christ. To be specific.

@davidgerard I'm impressed you manage to get these out daily! I like the shame framing, spot on. I also think we need to lean heavily into the slop terminology rather than the "vibe" word. Call it what it is, "slop coding" shameful slop coding. 👍

@davidgerard "Deal with it. That genie is out of the bottle. You’re not getting it back" is the attitude of the commander of a military invasion force demanding unconditional surrender.

@davidgerard Fucking ironic if you consider who the addressee of that famous middle finger was. Kinda wish he'd let that stand.

@davidgerard supply chain compromise

@davidgerard
I half expected him to pull off his mask and it's Dario Amodei underneath.

@davidgerard
Torvalds is a git. He named git git because he's a git.

Once a git, always a git i guess.

Gits are going to git.
There is no gitting around that.

@davidgerard
Been sharing it and already in two places been hearing that this is "blown out of proportion"
