Similar to anti-AI derangement

No. There is no "anti-AI derangement", the reaction to slop is normal.

Spamming an open source developer with angry comments because they decided to use a new tool for the code they write and publish freely is not normal.

Are you basing this opinion on the issue or actual evidence? Because this github link, although interesting, is almost completely context free on what the drama is beyond "Claude". The rsync maintainers could be anywhere on the spectrum from the perfect and responsible maintainer to incompetent children and we couldn't really tell.

> is almost completely context free on what the drama is beyond "Claude" As soon as it happened their rsync based backup system that was working before started to fail. It says right there.

Why would they roll a new release straight into production without testing it first?

> Then somebody screenshots the geographical location "Israel" to attack another commenter. He gets lots of upvotes for it, too. And you got downvoted for calling out that crap. A sad state this world is in.

Yep. When someone does that, he gets rightfully called out. On the other side, accusations of being Russian trol are pretty common, even here on HN. Why are people more sensitive to antisemitism than to antislavism? Double standards, or just a hate induced by decades / centuries of indoctrination?

> Why are people more sensitive to antisemitism than to antislavism?

Calling someone a vatnik or Russian troll is mostly because the statement that provokes such a callout reproduces Russian propaganda talking points, and Russia has been running propaganda campaigns for well over a decade now. Similarly, ordinary Russians aren't called orcs, but Russian soldiers are called that because of their despicable behavior in the war theatre.

> this is a very senior open source contributer who has maintained this project since he came up with the diff algorithm during his Phd People change. You can be Linus Torvalds for all I care, if one day you wake up and start pushing 9000 line commits created by LLM and with regressions, you're not that person anymore.

But DID anything change? Of course I know that some people can just becoming psychotic out of nowhere. But why would I assume it?

Yes, according to the git diff and the comment here https://github.com/RsyncProject/rsync/issues/929#issuecommen....

A change in the sys calls that are used. That's pretty sensitive in general I think; I can see if it were introduced by an LLM why people would be upset if they experienced data loss from it.

Do you think LLM use is evidence of psychosis? I think it's a widespread problem but probably not psychosis.

Reminds of the days when windows and macs folks were debating each other, made it impossible to announce Mac software on a software forum with windows users.

The significant thing that will result from this is private issue lists and disabling open PRs. and then you’re worse off as an ai sceptic.

Bugs are bugs and need fixing. How dense can people get.

Regressions are bad and need to not happen.

Would you hold off on fixing a security vulnerability if it caused a limited regression?

Regressions should be fixed expediently, but if you apply the criteria "need to not happen" they are literally blocking issues. They could then block security fixes.
