You know it's random nonsense, and yet you still take it on faith that it "gives you answers". That's what makes me despair about all the AI nonsense: it's the death of intellect. Not the death of deep thinking, but of common sense.

I can't wait for the day until all these people collectively snap out of it, and go "what the hell were we thinking with these chatbots".

As a matter of fact he's a never-ending source of drama and outrage, all of which are his own opinions. His repair channel isn't even about repair anymore, it's all drama, all the time. I can hardly believe people fall for his shtick anymore.

Is the code base AI slop? You've published your code as open source, but without an explicit AI policy.

In the age of meme stocks, NFTs, vibe coding and orange clowns in the white house, no, it's not obvious. The world has gone right past satire and into a reality of collective delusion.

But github now handles so much more traffic, without a doubt. I'm not so sure their infrastructure is keeping up, but if it is, the current sluggishness may just be its speed under any load.

If you want to see what it should be, check any forgejo/codeberg repo.

When that slop article incident happened, I thought their reaction to it was MUCH too late -- they should have fired the journalist in question immediately, and come out hard against slop writing. I stopped reading Ars Technica because of it, and will not follow links to their site.

Now that they've finally come out with an official policy, I see I was right.

Right. People on here are just ignoring the fact that the fantastically expensive metaverse effort has failed, and it's pretty obvious that people working on it thus no longer have anything to do, so will mostly be let go. The article even mentions this as a likely cause.

I mean I get it, Meta is evil, inefficient etc, but this layoff round seems pretty predictable.

That's literally advocating for filling the kernel with AI slop.

Not that it's not going to happen; Linus is already a vibe-coder, and several maintainers have fallen for the LLM crap as well.

You have to wonder why it's so hard to put that on their 503 error page. I suspect something's much more broken than they're letting on.

Because while Musk is certainly running Tesla into the ground, without him it would sink even faster. Without his hype jacking up the share price, it's just a carmaker with 2.5 models, cratering sales, fast obsoleting tech, and no new models in the near pipeline.

All the shareholders can do is hang on to the ride for as long as they can.

Indeed. What's new is not referring to someone of unknown gender as "they", but rather people identifying as non-gender-specific, and wanting to be referred to as "they". That's the part that feels so awkward, IMHO, not simply they as one person.

Nah, it's just AI slop, despite OP's "hand-written" protestation.

This site is very much drowning in all the slop. It's over half of posts now I think, not just the "Show HN" posts. Those are 100% slop, as are all the non-show-hn new project announcements.

All the moderators have done is drop Show HN posts by newish accounts. It fixed nothing. I have to hope they have some ambitious plan along the lines of what you suggest.
