You took that way too literally

Way to turn you being unable to understand a situation into a “burn” against people with actual skills. Gonna guess this is not the only thing today you didn’t understand at all.

I see your point. I might also have responded poorly to that, on some level at least.

My understanding is that this dude was letting Claude fully author features/bugfixes. At least that would be the only way I can understand commits being credited to Claude. I am sure that is a default setting meant to encourage transparency. Him removing Claude as author on work that is already done is childish (as was his remark about it) and intentionally deceptive. If he was doing what you said you do, I think the attitude would be vague grumpiness but it’s objectively not a big deal because not only does it suggest more oversight, there would’ve been no opportunity for him to remove the author and then act like an ass about it.

I agree with you generally about people being shitty online. I have been treated very poorly for suggesting objectivity when it comes to ai specifically. But in this case I mostly get why people are upset. And again, it does bear repeating, this thread has many level headed comments about this and I didn’t see any negative responses to those. It may not be fair to you, but I think the reason you got the pushback you did is because you seemed fully on the guy’s side. Yeah, unfortunately the binary thinking that goes on has no patience for views that come across that way.

What you’re taking issue with though is deeper than ai. It’s online discourse that is so rude and nuance-less.

In any case, this thread is full of people saying things like “that’s his right to do this but he communicated poorly about this” and getting piles of upvotes. So, yes ai is very polarizing in this corner of the Internet, but I think it’s much more at issue here that people don’t like his handling of it. I know that personally if it weren’t for that I probably would’ve thought “hmm sounds sketchy to use ai in a product thousands of people depend on” and kept scrolling. But no, he was a dick about it and is now hiding his use of ai moving forward. So the people who hate AI are extra pissed about it. Likely because they fear others will follow that lead and enshittify the software they currently enjoy.

It’s for sure a polarizing topic, I just don’t see how it’s a culture war. “Sub-culture war” maybe?

TIL fact-based opinions and the arguments that come from them are “culture wars”.

I’ve removed the Claude co-authorship from the commits a few days ago. So good luck figuring out what’s generated and what is not.

Seems pretty obvious to me that they knew this wouldn’t go over well. It was inflammatory by design.

You make a fair point, but I feel like the trolling reaction they gave was asking for more backlash. Not responding was probably the best move.

Culture war? Lol

Yes, the observation that software quality seems negatively impacted by ai use is not allowed to be expressed, because you don’t observe it.

Which is an entirely different conversation that has nothing to do with this one.

Like that it produces hallucinated bullshit and anyone can see that with any given 2-3 Google searches now. It’s literally impossible to miss that if you use the Internet now.

I don’t follow this logic. “If others use your code via ai, then it’s not fair if you don’t get to use theirs”…?

I don’t see how reciprocating in this way has the slightest thing to do with opposing the use of ai. People who oppose its use do so on the grounds that they think it produces worse code.

Literally me since the first time I used a computer. Unfortunately (almost) anything you do for a living becomes a chore even on the best days.

It tracks that the guy I saw raging about linux more than once is defending bloat lol

Than*

OMG so funny. Each pixel is like 1.6 funnies. So you know, like 50 funnies total.

Your sources are trust me bro, a shifty sounding website, and your own comments you cannot be bothered to link to. If anything you are saying is true, you’re convincing people it’s not by how you’re reacting here.

I mean, we can distrust both. I’m not clear on what you think happened. Do you not think the person arrested for this is the killer? In any case what is the motivation for lying about the weapon used…?

Yeah I actually do think the matrix would’ve been a worse movie with will Smith. He is not a good actor.
