“Make people addicted.”

Just in case anyone was ever doubting the fact that the people behind these GenAI products are complete and utter fucking scum.

Yeah, but have you tried Slaupe Octopus 6.9? It’s vastly superior to anything else on the market.

• v0.1.0;
• about 4 hours later, v0.2.0, the date in CHANGELOG.md went backwards;
• about 1.5 hours later, v0.3.0.

Pardon me if I have my doubts.

+14k SLoC, -6k SLoC, most of it in May. In software that’s mostly “done” and needs nothing else but bug fixes.

LGTM.

Borg doesn’t have any indications of any slop involvement

Sorry to be the messenger, but they aren’t opposed to it: CONTRIBUTING.md#responsible-ai-usage.

It also shares the same sentiment. Except “fuck” is literal.

Installation

Download the latest release by xpi-file from GitFlic, go to downloads and install the add-on (or drag it from your file-manager anywhere on a page/tab in Firefox).

No source code whatsoever. Thanks but no thanks.

Why does this keep happening? I told Gemini to make no mistakes, FFS.

I edited the comment, see my reply to @[email protected].

I edited the comment. It ended with a period before, I assume your client thought it was a part of the link. Does it work now?

Clown corporation. If I were employed by Microsoft, I’d probably be embarrassed to admit that in public.

Yeah, there was. It was forked because of that, actually: https://codeberg.org/ChiPass

Software Engineers

Oftentimes I wonder what civil or mechanical engineers think about webdevs-turned-prompt-writers calling themselves “engineers”.

No, he does not. A bit of an overreaction on your part.

Nothing too scandalous. https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=ModRemoveComment&modId=433268&userId=200081.

My entire point was in one single sentence, and yet you managed to shit out three sentences, not even remotely addressing that.

I’m saying that if the output puked out by an LLM is of better quality than your own code, something you literally just confessed to, then you’re nothing but a hack. An impostor.

What does the fact that you’ve been training anyone have to do with that? What does a degree, or lack thereof, have to do with anything? I’ve seen plenty of hacks employed as “seniors”, some with a CompSci degree. The kind of hacks that used to be overly reliant on StackOverflow in the past. The kind of hacks that write poorly performing garbage, yet quote Knuth’s “premature optimization is the root of all evil” (completely missing the context) when you confront them about it.

LLMs are a tool that can lift up the quality of coding work

Imagine telling on yourself like this.

And that is right after implying that you are a “proficient professional coder” that is “like engineer level” unlike those pesky “anti ai warriors”. Jesus fucking Christ.

That’s how you know it’s a KDE app.

Yeah, the first commit is 47k SLoC, and Claude is mentioned as a “co-author”.
