Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid - welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful you’ll near-instantly regret.
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cut’n’paste it into its own post — there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned so many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
@dgerard @cstross wonderful! So happy
@djb @dgerard It’ could be undermined by Linus’s tolerance of AI slop in the kernel, and by other upstream projects accepting LLM code, notably (to me) vim and pandoc.
The unknown original provenance of code generated by LLMs means that many open source projects may soon be in violation of their own license terms.
@cstross @djb @dgerard the proposal starting with copyright was such a welcome change, I find it wild how many projects just have their head on the sand over the copyright status of LLM generated code. You can be unethical as you like generating code, open source licences permit that, but they are all about copyright, they are built on it.
@cstross @dgerard 😮💨 yea. It’s all getting to be a bit too much.
