  • A predatory slop publisher has turned to algorithmic moderation by clankers? A shocking turn of events, to be sure. They're probably just trying to wring the last few pennies out of their operation before they meet their inevitable oblivion.

  • IANAL, but my understanding is that companies are allowed to keep confidential the fact that they even filed the S-1. That's how I read OpenAI's statement. But it's not completely clear what "it" means in "we expect it to leak".

  • AI slop will absolutely kill any forum in which it proliferates. So I'm totally fine with it proliferating on LW.

  • That's bizarre. Why?

  • Everyone knew it was going to be a total shitshow once the free money ran out. Copilot is just the first shoe dropping. Getting out the popcorn.

  • The rsync slop-code scandal (mentioned here earlier) has now blown up in rsync's github issues tab. And of course on the orange site.

  • Why doesn't she just ring up Peter Thiel. She seems like just the type of person he'd love to donate some Thiel bucks to.

    EDIT: I just went to her linked GitHub sponsors page. I was surprised to find Simon Willison there, but maybe I shouldn't have been. It certainly gave me another reason to look sideways at him.

  • If you want to witness a bunch of emotionally stunted clanker fondlers totally missing the point, check out the comments on this orange site thread.

  • They've been using the excuse that not everyone who participated in the "AI 2027" project agreed on 2027 as the year it all happens. But if that's the case, why the hell did they call it "AI 2027"?

    Gotta love the ex post facto of it all.

  • And not a single question about the Claude Code source leak, which revealed how it's completely slapped together with string and bubble gum.

  • Her account is just another reminder that -- apart from race science -- nothing goes better together with rationalism than social cluelessness.

  • Clown v. Clown. This is about the level of discourse Yud deserves.

  • What about the git commit messages for the Microsoft PM who vibe-coded all these changes. Were they also accompanied by a "Co-Authored by GitHub" message? Because that'd be hilarious if they weren't.

  • McKenzie has got to be one of the worst writers I've ever come across.

    We will return to the other reason in a moment.

    <thousands of words of blather>

    We return from this flight of fancy to the indictment.

    <thousands of words of blather>

    Why? We’ll return to it in a minute.

    I didn't make it to the end, because I'm not going to waste that much time reading tens of thousands of words of fascist-supporting bullshit.

  • You and me both. The deluge of shitty AI slop code is never-ending. Unfortunately, software companies are going to have to start going under before anything gets done about it.
