RE: https://mastodon.social/@nixCraft/117387668201095251 This 👇🏻 , and I am also sick and tired of those in #academia and #HigherEd , including #librarians who should know better, rushing to embrace it and assisting said rich assholes. #AISlop #sloperator #cogsucker #BadEconomy #tech #corruption

The moment you begin using any of the many vibe-coded software projects that are popping up everywhere, you inherit its technical debt and future maintenance. #sysadminlife #sloperator #homelab

@zopyx@mastodon.world @cryptica@wireframe.icosahedron.network If you insist on laying dicks on the table, I also am a senior software engineer with 30 years experience and have been distributing multiple popular FOSS projects for >25 years. And I still say there is no such thing as "responsible LLM use". Even if you don't care about the ethical issues - which I believe would, on its own, qualify someone as a low-grade sociopath - then the legal and environmental and social issues it brings up should put the final nail(s) in the coffin. "But I'm using the slop machine well and wisely" is, in fact, "I like slop-coding, actually" rephrased so very, very slightly. And that means you failed the litmus test from my original post... Slop slop slop slop... [edit: typo fix] #slop #SlopMachine #ethics #responsibility #engineer #DickSizeContest #sloperator

So, Codeberg (which is a FOSS/freedom-focused code hosting site) is run as a cooperative, with members able to nominate measures/policies and vote on them etc. They just had a vote and approved policies making "AI" / LLM-based projects basically unwelcome there. The vote wasn't close; 70% voted in favour of the policy. It's not a hard & fast "if you use LLM, you're banned" or anything of the sort - it's quite a measured, reasoned stance. The slopcoders are freaking out. They just don't understand how this is possible. Imagine! A community of people that makes their own decisions and you can't just make them do what you want or ignore them and consume their resources without their consent! "I like slopcoding, actually" is turning out to be a *really* good litmus test for people you want to have absolutely nothing to do with your project or your community. Look at some of the whining (this is the only reason I would ever link to YCombinator [1]): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49021856 [1] Your occasional and irregular reminder: "Hacker" "News" is neither. #NoAI #NoLLM #sloperator #slopcoding #vibecoding #consent #Codeberg #hosting #forge #community #FOSS #HackerNews #YCombinator
