the consensus seems to be that adding instructions to code that sabotage other people’s work goes too far

Luckily, the LLM coding isnt people's work

I mean, my thought would be "Don't fucking run code that you don't understand".

If we all followed that rule, we'd be using nothing more complex than an 8080.

It's the stolen work of other people.

The OG vibe coders.

I love everything about this, other than the people butthurt that their free software doesn't like AI. I'll give the smallest amount of criticism that it was obfuscated initially, because that's just malware even if I think it's justified. By clearly stating what it does, then the onus is on the user to audit the code and modify as needed. I would love to see more of this type of action to become standard practice, but just deleting the test suite isn't quite painful enough for what I'd like to see.

I’d say this is only fair game if you have a no-ai policy on the readme. Otherwise you’re just being a dick.

I think its on the user of the bot for being a hack.
