#122Decision time, Western man: will you let the “tehe, just a miwtake xsxd UwU” slide or will you do something about? This is just a first pebble.

Using a LLM to fix a spelling mistake is retardedly lazy. If you do it manually, sure. If you have an agent watching for code changes and automatically opening PRs for small fixes that don't need a human-in-the-loop except for approving the change, it's the opposite of lazy. It eliminately all those tedious 1 point stories and let's the team focus on higher value work that actually needs a person to think about it. G…
Sounds like a great use of energy and tokens, not overkill at all In fact I don't even use Ctrl + F anymore and instead just use Claude for all my searches

As much as AI uses a lot of energy, having something that fixes issues in the background is very likely to be a net saving if you consider the number of users who fail to complete a task due to the bug and have to either wait in a broken state or retry later.
It's probably using less energy than a person fixing the issue too. That's a guess though.

#124So does Claude, Codex, and Cursor. Albeit more subtle, but they are hardly shy about it

#125This "ad" is not exactly new. Looks like MS thinks it's a "tip" rather than an ad. I don't know if Raycast team even knows about this. https://github.com/PlagueHO/plagueho.github.io/pull/24#issue... Copilot has been adding "(emoji) (tip)" thing since May 2025. GitHub copilot was released in May 2025, so basically it has had an ad since beginning. There are 1.5m of these things in GitHub. https://github.com/search?q=%…
Honestly, it being a "tip" or "ad" is exactly the same.
What I mean is that even if I take that at face value and accept that it's not an ad, and I can just about see from a certain level of corporate brainwashing how one could believe that, it's still completely unacceptable.

LLMs aren't known for being super deterministic.
LLMs are determistic. Just like everything else computers are capable of doing. Commercial front-ends just hide the random seed parameters.
Distributed float math is not deterministic without introducing total operations ordering and destroying performance

Re: Copilot edited an ad into my PR
#128Claude will add itself as a contributor to a PR, which I consider an ad.
To play devil’s advocate^, wouldn’t it be plagiarism if it didn’t?
^I find that turn of phrase to be particularly pleasing in this context.

Re: Copilot edited an ad into my PR
#130I was recently running Copilot CLI in a sandbox on autopilot mode and it kept overriding git config to put only "GitHub Copilot" as commit author instead of my name. Strongly worded instructions weren't helping, I had to resort to the permission system to change this behavior.
I wonder if this is consistent with their terms of service. I mean, maybe they DO take all the responsibility for the code I generate and push in this manner?
