| piggz[m] | Renaud: maybe...its hard to tell .. but yes, that user has a very short github activity, and there is an awful lot going on in that keyboard package | 19:36 |
| mia | you can assume most things on github to be by now. this definitely is | 19:45 |
| x2s | https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/release-futo-keyboard-with-swipe-and-offline-voice-input/32610 Even the thread feels generated. | 19:51 |
| mia | some LLMs have a pretty recognizable comment style, and the contrast between that and what the commit history looks like is another obvious tell | 19:52 |
| x2s | I hate talking to machines. I want them to do what I tell them and not argue with them. But for most people the slop just seems good enough. Makes me sad. | 19:55 |
| mia | i tend to see the latter as a bigger problem than the use of AI itself because of the long-term code quality/sustainability implications. could get very messy. | 19:55 |
| mia | idk for better or worse it is a tool that empowers people to achieve things they otherwise wouldn’t. you give the average person a cordless drill and two times out of three they will overtighten every screw even if you tell them what the ring with the numbers is for. doesn’t make me condemn power tools. | 20:01 |
| x2s | as long as they overtighten all their own screws, I'm fine. But currently they are tightening all screws, even those on my car (if we want to stay in the analogy) | 20:03 |
| mia | i don’t like how it increases the burden on maintainers of very popular free software projects. it necessarily leads to further acceleration of software development, and there’s already a tendency to heavily productize what used to be more of a hacker’s playground. the space for exploration and “playful cleverness” seems to be getting smaller. github is basically half linkedin by now; something people put on their resume. | 20:09 |
| mia | another large portion is companies using the AGPL open core playbook to get gullible nerds to work for free before the company is bought and the product moved to a proprietary SaaS offering | 20:11 |
