@davidgerard He's been trying to get it into Arch too 😂

@davidgerard ted ts'o used to just use his alumni email, now he's out here pretending his credentials matter. didn't know he was the first us linux dev, but that fundamentally strengthens my claim that this was an intelligence op from the very beginning

@davidgerard no AI and Claude is listed right there! In the contributors! Like he didn’t even TRY to hide it!

@davidgerard looks like AI even ripped off a version of the Netscape logo for them.

@davidgerard that's fucking disgusting and hilarious in the same time. ai-sloppers begin to realize that no one actually needs their ai-slop, so now they straight up lying about their usage of ai. euughhh

@davidgerard What was the quote? "Capitalism will take any criticism of itself and shove it up its arse like a suppository?"

Also this is the first time I see a github project where Claude is the top "contributor".

@davidgerard@circumstances.run a lot of this kind of thing, or even the simpler "don't say you're using AI" thing, all feel like a bit of a set up for the "HA! See! It was AI from the beginning, you like AI really! Ha!" reveal which may coincidentally be around about when the VC capital dries up

Worse would be the "see! we need AI to understand this code and bugfix it!" reveal, though if code isn't understandable by humans, it isn't good code, so shouldn't be used anyway. I wish myself good luck convincing people who don't understand that though

@paul @davidgerard@circumstances.run looking at the debian message they respond with... Am I stupid in hoping LLMs are discovering that "NO AI" is becoming a statistically probable output for development so are just putting that in the slop it outputs? 🤣

@paul @davidgerard we already have code that can't be understood by humans, I can't understand the code I wrote a year ago in a fit of inspiration and I don't need to run fifteen natural gas turbines and contaminate ten million liters of water per day or whatever it is

@paul @davidgerard in short, OpenAI should give me thirty billion dollars

@paul @davidgerard I actually don't know what I would do with thirty billion dollars. How many mortgages could I absolve with that kind of money? A small city's worth? How much food distribution could that build?

@davidgerard Still the idea behind current Debian it seems to be "use slop but seriously" we're fucked

@davidgerard what language is that readme supposed to be in? Spiralist?

@davidgerard "Now speaking just personally: This is insane"
👍👌🤣

@davidgerard
This developer is clearly one of the chosen few who can "use it responsibly" because they "actually know how to use it" and "are careful".

What a farce.

@davidgerard does message #70 already count as „wahh wahh wahh we can’t get into Debian because of woke cancel culture“ or does it need a few more dogwhistles wailing in the background?
