Arf! I’m Tony Bark. Artist by day, programmer by night. Gamer all the way.

Not sure how buying a podcast is going to help pay the bills, Altman.


Also be transparent when you have vibecoded commits. There’s no reason to hide it.
I find it rather ironic that one thing they are transparent about is the covering up the evidence that proves it was vibecoded. Apparently, they never heard of the Strainsand Effect.


Anyway, I was suspecting that this “issue” might come up so I’ve removed the Claude co-authorship from the commits a few days ago.
He knew it was going to be an issue. This wasn’t about being attacked.


Thank you. Another issue that sort of overlaps with the hallucination problem is the fact that it is basically is referring to snapshot in time. Based on my past attempts, no amount of searching the web will improve results because it has no idea to account for future outcomes like actual programmers can. Meaning, it isn’t very flexible and can’t adopt to new, breaking or quality of life changes.
Programming is a hobby for me and my preferred language is C#. I work on the bleeding edge for fun and so I can benefit from .NET’s recent quality of life changes. Naturally, I’m Microsoft’s target audience. And yet for the reasons stated above, these chatbots can’t work for me in the long run.


The maintainer openly admitted to suspecting this would be become an issue and hid the co-authorship, promptly telling the “haters” to wish them luck finding the AI generated code. Who are the insufferable ones here again?


By telling people he expected this and obfuscating the authorship afterwards, he is doing damage in the form of eroding trust for a tool that has otherwise proven reliable.


As I’ve said in an earlier thread, AI over engineers code and hallucinates APIs that don’t exist. Furthermore, hallucinations themselves are a very well studied phenomenon that has proven difficult to combat. People have very legit compliments about AI that you seem to be determined to dismiss as nothing more than a culture war.


As I said: judge the result, not the workflow.
I’ve tested AI myself and seen the results. I’ll judge how I see fit.


AI has caused plenty of headaches for developers. This isn’t some culture war shit.


I tried fitting AI into my workloads just as an experiment and failed. It’ll frequently reference APIs that don’t even exist or over engineer the shit out of something could be written in just a few lines of code. Often it would be a combo of the two.


Blackmail? There’s an app for that!


Isn’t that what you tell us, Elon?

As always, they refuse to go into any further details.


I still use a download manager for the bigger files. Just to be safe.


It is possible simply to ask a chatbot to reveal their prompt. And Grok isn’t exactly one to push back on anything.


Damn.


I’ve switched to .md when the community mentioned something was up with the .today domain. Hopefully that one isn’t compromised.
Huh? I don’t get it…
