Unfortunately for the people mad about this, I predict the only thing they will accomplish by pressuring the rsync maintainers, is to discourage everyone else from responsibly disclosing their use of AI. You’re just going to make people disable Claude attribution on their commits to avoid drama.

Do you have any popular open source projects? Or are you just an Internet gremlin?

I don't have a dog in this fight, but a few points that look a little suspicious: - The release with the highest number of attributed bugs is the release _right before_ the first release with Claude-coauthored commits, released in January; is there a chance that unattributed LLM-authored commits made it into this release? - The release attribution methodology is not great, since it will tend to attribute bugs introdu…
Which brings me to my overall response, which is that there is absolutely no evidence, and nothing even intimating this hypothesis, that LLM commits were secretly being added to earlier releases before they were attributed, and that's why the rate of bugs is higher. There's no reason to think that it's an unreasonable thing to think, and there's no evidence for that whatsoever unless you beg the question and assume that higher bug counts must automatically indicate AI involvement, which is just circular reasoning. You're essentially just making up a hypothesis out of thin air to preserve your point.
Regarding your third point, that one's fair, but I've done the analysis and I can put it up if you want, as to how long it usually takes to find bugs and how far through the release cycle we are for each version.

People should be doing this regardless of drama. No reason to provide free advertising for trillion dollar corporations. Generated-by trailers are only relevant when contributing to third party projects, in that case disclosure is polite.

Is that a bad thing? I mean from the perspective of Anthropic's marketing department sure, but if agents are just another type of tool in developer's tool belt - as I see people recently like to claim - attribution feels kinda weird. In the end it is the developer who is responsible for their commits.
And I guess maybe there's no such thing as bad press but at least in this cases it doesn't seem like effective marketing for Anthropic.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yes, but we know why there was an "extraordinary spike," and it has nothing to do with rsync being "vibe coded." The maintained has directly addressed this.
Seems like this would be a good place to link to that.

What followed was extraordinary: 329 comments and counting, ranging from thoughtful concern to outright harassment. The thread did not stop at words. One user posted My Little Pony drawings of themselves strangling the "project janitor that pushed vibecoded commits": It spread to Hacker News and Lobsters, generating hundreds more comments. This is false, it did not appear on Lobsters. Here is the function in the code…
