Oh, lucky them.

Maybe they’re being downvoted because they’re formulating their question and list of demands as if it were a ransom note, or a chatbot prompt.

Gah, kill them both with fire.

It’s only a four point bullet list. Let’s get to it, environment first 🙂

Exactly. We’re talking a pretty specific, behind the scenes kinda group.

It’s “Barnum”. And he’s probably most famous for saying there’s a sucker born every minute.

Only a minority of developers. And to some degree they’re the ones who’ll have to lie in that particular bed once the LLMs shit in it.

To be clear, 16% of respondents thought vibe coding should be rejected completely. It’s not a lot, but it’s not nothing either.

It will be interesting to see how “AI” adoption affects their (already modest) market share, though.

Oh, you asked Claude. That settles it then 🙄

xkcd has the answer

As always!

Yeah, I like the idea, but those models are pretty good at parroting desirable text styles. It might become a game of whack-a-mole to identify the slop unfortunately 🫤

I don’t have a good answer or suggestion. I’m just a guy who enjoys mixing metaphors

Hey, me too. I don’t pretend to serve up solutions, but certainly accepting that we can’t simply navigate the internet or find human coded software anymore — isn’t an acceptable solution either?

It’s a Pandora’s box moment to be sure. I don’t see that allowing “AI” use to continue unchecked is viable in any field outside hard science. But then we have the “only outlaws” situation instead 🤷

Nice try, Andy.

Please don’t. Also, never talk to me or my species again.

we’re only at the start of this

So, what if — crazy idea, I know — we dig in our heels and refuse? Could we make this not the start but a quick skip to the end, where we just don’t do all the hellish robot junk and thereby minimise the workload of rolling back to the olden ways?

TBF, Omarchy is also run and funded by raving rightwingers. Until further notice, I’m not going to assume out of the gate that this project is too (but fascists do love slop).

OT, it completely checks out that danemadsen’s github history is filled with “AI” development.

I’ve been playing Linux for a while, and I’m pretty sure it’s spelled “guthib”.

This issue on redlib’s Github repo addresses it.

The only suggested workaround I can see for us end users is to use an age verification extension. Haven’t tried it myself, though.

Not so much as “no AI slop” but “here’s something built by someone you clearly despise due to their background outdoing you without requiring a right-wing techbro circle of investers”. Simply put: defiance in the face of a woefully corrupted industy. Or just pure old school “fuck you” vibes. Take your pick.

Bloody hell, I love this ✊
