Poe's law is making it hard to tell if your comment is sarcasm or AI-induced psychosis.

>I’m curious if that matters if humans are never going to even read this code?

If by never even read you don't include attaching a debugger to solve an issue. 1,000 global mutable variables would make debugging anything an absolute nightmare.

Got any specific examples? I believe you, I'd just like some concrete examples to show my coworkers.

>Dude, stop with “slop”.

No.

It's a useful term, just like "clickbait" was 10 to 15 years ago (and still is). Trying to police other people calling it slop is reminiscent of Microsoft autobanning anyone using the term "Microslop" on their Discord, it's idiotic language policing and I'm not going to do it, simple as.

Given that even the unsafe audit article appears to be written by AI that doesn't seem like much thought to me.

Given that LLMs are capable of generating code from open source projects verbatim (and entire books like Harry Potter verbatim) and no one gives a damn it seems like copyright is essentially a dead letter, legally speaking at least And the courts (in the US and elsewhere) haven't decided to intervene at all. Still a scummy thing to do morally though, I agree.

Assuming it all works 50k scanners running nonstop at 60 seconds a scan is 2.1 billion scans a month. Assuming they aren't lying/exaggerating about anything, and assuming there is no downtime/setup/etc. in between. In other words, reeks of massive bullshit.

>Actually good quality stuff is more affordable than ever. People just don't want to pay for quality and things that last.

You might want to read *A Market for Lemons".

For me, the painful banging my head against the wall to figure something out is usually the most rewarding sort of learning experience.
