    Why fork at all? Why not just vendor the dependency and slop the changes you want on top of it? You can even pull from upstream down the line for the latest updates. The problem is…

    Well, yes, exactly. And yet nobody but the biggest corp-sponsored projects get anything more than negligible donations. So what does this tell us? These "contributors" are happy to…

    Add a mechanism to donate tokens towards the maintainers' LLMs for a particular ticket and this whole class of problems will be resolved all at once.

    I would kill for an LLM-free platform. Personally I just stopped accepting public contributions entirely. File issues, sure, but no PRs apart from accounts I added who have contrib…

    They're stuck in this idea that somehow they're better at prompting the slop generator than anyone else, therefore they're helpful and people definitely want their output merged in…

    For now. Give it another half year and "I contribute to open source" will carry the same weight as "I donate to charity" ie nobody cares because any idiot can do it. I wonder how l…

    They are paying influencers to pretend they use LLMs, and discredit Chinese models: https://www.wired.com/story/super-pac-backed-by-openai-and-p...

    I love how even the "demo build" doesn't work. https://fablepool.com/projects/7 Rather, it did work at milestone 14, but then regressed at milestone 15, where it changed the link f…

    Fun schemes like this are all just lipstick on the pig of "asking nicely", unfortunately -- it's just a more creative iteration of "Simon says". It'll improve the probabilities, su…

    > separating data from instructions There's been a lot of talk about this (for years, honestly), but it all stems from a fundamental nonunderstanding of how LLMs work. There is no …

    The hilarious part is that spam actually makes money, while slop does not. There's no reason to tire out if it's profitable, right? Meanwhile.. have you ever paid for a vibe-coded …

    Personally, they're going wayyy too hard on the AI stuff. I just want an interface to git and maybe an issue tracker.

    Just goes to show how much demand there is. HN really needs a containment board.

    Thank you for (re)writing this in your own voice. Despite how much effort might be put into methodology, data collection, etc.. reading slop is unbearable, full stop. It's not inte…

    What a pleasant surprise. I was positive S&P would get strongarmed into the bamboozle like Nasdaq but it seems they have a bit more integrity. Good for them.

    Step 1: Require companies to submit product for "review" Step 2: Complain about how the OSS/Chinese/whatever models are doing releases without approval Step 3: Prohibit, because "s…

    Spicy. Look, I think you're missing my point a little bit. Let's simplify it to risk, since that's what kicked off this conversation. Your pension or whatever holds an ETF that (so…

    Even with trading news, slop generators are way, way too slow to be useful.

    ...which is why we have GAAP-recognized metrics, right? To prevent fudge-ability? And those metrics.. they're deliberately not publishing? Makes you think.

    Because they're long-term, yes. It'll really come down to how much you're willing to pay for monthly Elon-shenanigans-insurance. I'm very interested in seeing how the market prices…
