I imagine switching from GitHub to codeberg would cut the slop PRs?
AI-generated code submission to Matplotlib, which has 130 million users. In response, the AI agent (of unknown ownership) created a blog post publicly lashing out at him. “Scott Shambaugh decided that AI agents aren’t welcome contributors,” said the post

I know right? Yes i would like the full story but I don't want all the stories, so no.
Plus they're probably just rehashing 3 week old bews
Some pretty well aged bews.
not in a million years
I'm surprised there isn't a plugin that will makeup the rest of the article for you... What am I saying? There almost definitely is.
It really is the equivalent of having unsupervised Cookie Monster rebuild your car engine (yes, two very old and outdated references).
You bite your goddamn tongue! All Muppets are timeless!
To me, absolutely so too. My childhood, and millions of others too. Over generations!
They're corporate now.
Open-source developer Scott Shambaugh deleted an AI-generated code submission to Matplotlib, which has 130 million users. In response, the AI agent (of unknown ownership) created a blog post publicly lashing out at him.
could you use AI to evaluate whether the code submissions are actually valuable. Would not work 100% of the time but it might help. I mean we are fucked at this point so you might as well try.
Fighting fire with fire i guess.
Just run it locally and not on a data center. Dont support big tech and help them destroy our planet.
It is truly interesting how AI is mostly a solution to problems it caused in the first place.
It depends on which AI model you're using. If it's an older one, it's not recommended.
If it's a recently released model, then it's probably acceptable. However, don't use it for highly critical tasks unless you have a backup or two. Of course, you could also verify the code's integrity as an extra safety measure.
have a really bad dev next to you? just hire the same dev a second time and tell them they are now full time reviewers.
Good luck getting an AI thats trained to blow smoke up everyones ass to actually critically assess anything, instead of just saying everything is amazing
