    Privacy-First: No cameras required - uses WiFi signals for pose detection

    That's not how privacy works.

    I have a visceral "AI" sensor that triggers when I see these:

    "Rust Implementation (v2)"

    "Performance Benchmarks (Validated)"

    Human beings don't self-validate explicitly like that. AI loves doing it.

    You generate code, there's a bug, you ask for a fix, your AI of choice will always output with:

    *** Fix build issue ***

    *** End fix ***

    and then call it "Version 2 (Validated)".

    Sometimes it's more subtle, but you can feel it, it loves adding "confirmed", "working", "validated".

    My sensor is much simpler. If I see emoji in headings or bulleted lists, I assume it's shit. It might be AI slop, or it might just be kids getting overexcited with the little pictures, but both deserve suspicion and scrutiny.

    If a bunch of the emoji don't even make sense it can get in the bin.

    Ahhh idk, I saw a lot of genuine repos do emojis, at least for headings. Even before LLMs.

    I like them 'cause with the right amount, it makes a README easier to parse when quickly scrolling over it.

    I have a project with a bunch of compose files that define the services I self host. I "deploy" the project by sshing into my server and doing "git pull" which means I'm often making changes that don't get tested before committing to source control. As a result I have long chains of commits like:

    • refactor the sproingy widget
    • refactor the sproingy widget v2
    • refactor the sproingy widget working
    • maybe the sproingy widget works this time?
    • ok finally found the issue with refactor sproingy widget
    • fix formatting of sproingy widget

    And now I'm wondering if I've been an llm this whole time

    Make your changes in a new branch and rebase/squash when you push it to main.

    This also means modifying your git pull command to pull the correct branch. A small change perhaps, but may be harder than just committing to main lol.

    I had a similar problem with GitHub actions, it was hard to test without messing up the main repo history.

    I am no programmer and understand almost nothing of the documentation and yet somehow I can tell it's all bullshit.

    It reads like a kid making up words in an attempt to sound smart mixed up with the description for a shady Amazon product.

    That's absolutely awesome!

    I'm gonna start referring to this as 'smelling AI slop'

    You got the sense to sniff it out, even without programming experience. And that's a damn good sense to have these days 👍

    Throughput metrics

    Phase Sanitization 67-85 Melem/s

    (Turns out it does exist! But it's just a chemical https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melem )

    Forgot to put "make sure the project compiles" in his .md files. What an amateur.

    I mean well before AI, it was pretty common that a GitHub repo wouldn't compile.

    And this is why I come up with stupid concepts like this, coding without numbers, just to fuck up artificial intelligence...

    Performance Benchmarks (Validated) yup, 100% totally validated. It's like when you buy something thats wayy too cheap for what it should be off of Temu and it shows up with a QC and Validation card that they clearly just print on a large sheet and cut down that says QC OK

    Everyone’s talking about the different things that give it away and here I am with “WiFi dense human pose…” wtf

    You can track/identify people in range of a wifi router based on how the wifi signal is disrupted.

    I believe that the original people claimed you could ID individual people using their approach, but I suspect that's under ideal conditions and/or with some training against individual people.

    AI Slop code base. Did Microsoft go open source?

    "In the fast-paced world of artificial intelligence, I'm constantly finding new ways to harness the power of technology. One of the most captivating aspects of AI models like GPT is their ability to "hallucinate" – generating completely new ideas and concepts that go beyond mere data processing. This capability underscores AI's potential to create, not just analyze."

    First time I am seeing someone sell hallucination as a "feature not a bug"
