this is the new frontier in AI coding: write a slopcoded browser with a slopcoded README and put a No AI policy on it. https://github.com/nordstjernen-web/northstar-web-browser
guy's trynna get this into debian. ted t'so personally tells him lol maybe not https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1142659&pow_referer=#55
@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 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?
