Hot take: I don’t like this. It states a rule, but the line is vague.
How is vibe coding detected? How much is too much? How does this apply to my personal vibe coded util™? Does this apply to private repos?
The rule feels ill defined while the consequences are quite extreme.
It would be nice to have some overlay of the two images with a difference to see what changed.
I always went with VLC until something got messed up with new laptops nVidia drivers. For whatever reason VLC could not properly use dedicated GPU acceleration with open drivers.
That’s when I tried out MPV. I like it, I like the minimalism, I like the CLI. It’s been working great so far.
For someone more technical MPV, for anyone else I’d still recommend VLC.
I hope that clears things up.
Not really. You had me in the first half, tho.
I’ve seen other takes of this in the comments and I’m inclined to agree with them.
I don’t believe the rules are as much about enforcement as they are about setting the tone. Yes, it seems very broad, but it’s much easier to point to a rule than to waste time arguing what is and is not a valid contribution.
The educational aspect isn’t the only thing no AI rules try to achieve. Denial of attention has become a real thing since LLMs were introduced, so having a strict no AI policy helps to save maintainer time.
Again this can be brought back to the educational argument: if a maintainer is spending time arguing about validity of AI contributions, they’re not sharing knowledge, but I’m not sure if that’s really the case in this particular instance.
Zig is an educational project. One of the goals of these rules is to facilitate sharing of experience. Having AI do the work for a person goes against that goal. In that regard it’s completely understandable.
It’s not the interview itself, but I can’t be bothered to look for it.
You’re missing the whole point of these requirements.
Zig is, first and foremost, an educational platform. If you’re contributing AI generated content you’re taking an educational opportunity form someone and not really gaining any meaningful experience yourself either.
At least that’s what the creator said in an interview.
It’s a hammer being sold as a replacement for builders. I don’t hate AI, rather than all of stuff that’s called “AI” these days is being sold as something more than it is.
Just listen to Jensen, the token salesman, of Nvidias fame.
If that $500,000 engineer did not consume at least $250,000 worth of tokens, I am going to be deeply alarmed
This is what I hate. The mad greed of these companies; the blatant disregard of everyone that these CEOs are displaying; the blind rush without a thought about consequences. “AI” is just the latest fad that got ruined by good old capitalism.
The change feels like a slippery slope where it could be easily abused if there’s enough incentive. Like the DMCA (I think that’s the acronym) process on youtube or github, or etc.
Maybe you’re right, time will tell.
