Can’t escape AI slop projects from meat proxies man. Every single open source project smells like Claude Code recently. Sad times.
At this point when I see the words “I built” I automatically substitute it with “I cuck-coded”.
I wonder how the rustaceans feel about their language being associated with slop.
It just shows how safe the language is, LLMs have to rely on Rust to prevent all the memory bugs. Same for proof assistants
I used to program in Rust. It’s a great language. I don’t do that anymore because %99.99 of Rust projects are slop nowadays.
Even the best LLMs write pretty shitty rust, which is kind of tragic
“Nothing leaves your device!”
“Curious to know what others think!”
I’ve made an open source hello world calendar app in a month in Rust. This language is so hard to understand for me, and I wrote C code for microcontrollers for a living some days of my life… Just can’t wrap my head around it.
Guess I’ll have to go buy socks and take HRT to finally be able to learn Rust.
It’s unfortunately on YouTube, but I always found this explainer quite helpful to understand the core concept of ownership/borrowing: http://intorust.com/
(You can skip the first two chapters.)
It just is a different way of thinking and especially veterans struggle with it, because they’ve got all these patterns in their head that don’t work very well in Rust.
Just keep going, the socks and HRT are a random byproduct, not a necessity.
Its just loot that drops when you level up, trust the plan
Sounds like cope man sorry
Stay mad, bro. Claude living in your head rent free.
Why can’t you just accept that some people feel that they benefit from using AI?
Billionaires probably also feel like they benefit from contributing to environmental damage and societal collapse like you prompstitutes.
Upvote for “prompstitutes”
I don’t know, man if it does the thing I want and it’s actively maintained, I don’t care if it’s written by AI.
You ever seen some enterprise grade code ? It’s a bunch of fucking slop just written by humans.
That’s not to say I don’t appreciate fully human-made open source projects as they are very, cool and show a high level of skill these days
The entire technology stole from every single talented individual including actual open source devs. Someone can use it and create the best app ever and I wouldn’t care. It’s unethical.
“it’s unethical”
Uh huh. Which framework? Kantian? Virtue ethics? Rawlsian justice? Utilitarianism? Pick a card, any card.
Lay it out, big man.
PS: “I don’t like it” != “it’s unethical”
That is if you believe “intellectual property” to be an ethical concept in the first place. Many in the free software movement do not. Many of us also do not believe copying, sharing, or remixing is “theft.” That is a propaganda term from the copyright cartel.
(Note that I think so-called generative AI has many problems but this is not one that concerns the free software movement imho)
If all the IP law was repealed I’d celebrate, but enforcing them on everyone except the worst tech companies is not an improvement.
I don’t think copying, sharing or remixing is theft unless it’s done by a big corporation to make money without attribution to my work.
That’s very brave of you. In the meantime other open source developers will continue using AI models that currently exist to benefit their coding were it can.
this is it. and wherever you see people slapping the work ‘slop’ around you know they have an agenda, or are running about 12 months behind. new models coding is fucking tits, especially for very simple things like direct DLL ports.
throw into the mix 50 years of dead fucking software that no one is maintaining. we’re supposed to protect that from, what? just in case?
tha anti-ai crowd have some points, but they are becoming more cult-like every day… and theres a big chunk of butt-hurt techies leading the way
Remember how everyone became an expert epidemiologist and virologist in 2020?
That’s what a lot of the anti-ai noise is. Same Karen energy.
Big feelings, shaky foundations, some real points hidden behind performative tribalism. IOW, another Tuesday on the internet in 202x.
They definitely have some legitimacy. It really bores me seeing yet another big tech inspired website alongside an empty readme with basically no human made text or AI disclaimer to be seen.
