is the "managerial class" in the room with us right now

i'm not gonna pretend to be the communist understander, but the idea that capitalists would pay workers to work against their own class interests (and against other workers) is a feature of capitalism

cj nooo.... someone come get my favorite parasocial essay-they out of there

unsolicited opinion: you might find yourself getting a lot more sealions on any ai slop filters you publish if you present neutrally. better to just rip the bandaid off, call it the mega ultra slopkiller 9000 director's cut, and mock the promptfans in the readme. giving them too much space to be obnoxious might prove regrettable. relevant: the jqwik saga

inb4 "it's actually even stupider in the original"

a truly magnificent feat of prompt engineering, coalesced into a single repository

https://github.com/thesysdev/make-no-mistakes

(do we accept snark from boosters? repo appears to function as a soft ad for a bespoke DSL and its surrounding tooling for LLMs to autoextrude.)

dividing by commits is some nasty sleight of hand given the commit rate has gone through the roof. "only 3 bugs per 10 commits!!" doesn't really mean much when there's an order of magnitude more slop commits than not

oh good there's more

Let's set the stage.

From the Free Software Foundation:

fucking LMAO

The cheering on of this deterioration in FOSS ideals is simply revolting. What is next? [...] Targeting people because of their skin color or orientation?

it's a good thing there's no FOSS code in the missile silos! it's a good thing the upcoming Palantir tranny tracker won't use FOSS libraries! this shit actually pisses me off

from the great minds at HN:

Fighting in a war is morally ok though. This is war.

war is when i pipe your scripts folder into my stochastic text machine which is hooked directly up to a root shell

the slot machine addicts have created a sternly-worded open letter to the maintainer utilizing all the critical analysis they are capable of mustering

However adding malware that for no reason destructivly destroys user code is insane.

chaser:

from user "bryon-cryptoconsults"

after scrolling through a couple days and accounts on the extended db0verse it's extremely hard not to come to the conclusion that it's a haven for people who think Rimu specifically is some kind of combination antichrist/lolcow who is personally here to destroy all of mastodon, lemmy, and the concept of federation itself. some choice extracts from the very fine people over there:

[Rimu] is an active danger to the entire fediverse as a whole. [...] you better expect questions on why you’re helping to further this narcissistic psychopath['s] control and influence. [...from that user's bio:] Rimu is weaponizing the fediverse against you.

very reasonable and normal account to have on your instance

Rimu is breaking the Fediverse. We had a good thing going for a few years.

that's right, he's personally deleting every post on the internet forever

Hi. Admin of Lemy.lol here. [...] When I joined the Lemy.lol team, I was informed that Rimu had pre-emptively defederated from us sometime ago due to our logo. Pepe the frog. [... He's] not merely a [power-tripping bastard], but a dangerous one.

fucking lol it's these chuds again

Did Rimu suffer a TBI or get way into something mind altering?.

that last one is on a thread completely detached from Rimu, by the way. Rimu possesses a kind of hyperagency, capable of superconvincing everyone of everything which is why any and all defederation due to AI slop is actually secretly his fault

so yeah, good riddance

db0's roundup doesn't pass the sniff test either. i'm supposed to take on your word that it was an "experiment" (testing what hypothesis?) and an "inside joke" (where is the explanation?) despite the paper trail showing approximately 0% of this being true, but you're totally comfortable speculating on the actions and motivations of Rimu -- nay, a mysterious unnameable "piefed developer"? you have the gall to be salty they didn't edit your narrative into their post about your instance admin's behavior when you refuse to even say their fucking name? it's gross! it's gross.

lol at "corporate-LLMs"

i feel in my gut that on some level license disputes are ultimately slapfights for which titanic corporation gets the money. however i will absolutely point and laugh at every misfortune that comes the way of that particular transmisogynist asshole
