What are the agents doing for you?

What does it do? I thought about trying this but I literally never have a need to generate text.
Oh sorry, sure yeah I wasn't talking about careers. I was only speaking of volunteers specifically. Claude is cheap right now but when it becomes full price I don't think most people doing video game decomps will want to pay for it.
Is that just a feeling? Because my feeling is that the foss movement is entering a golden age even when you take into consideration all of the slop coding getting posted
Sure yeah I guess if you want to consider a single video game community shutting down to be "widespread repercussions" you certainly have that right, but I don't think we'll be able to find common ground on this topic. Have a good one!
This looks awesome though I'm disappointed Kate Mugrew isn't doing an Irish accent.
So I don't disagree, but at the same time I also don't see many people relying on these vibe-coded apps, or including them in crucial points within software stacks. For example if a vibe-coded Mario Kart decomp project gets orphaned it doesn't really have widespread repercussions.
Linus is saying that using an LLM doesn't absolve you of taking responsibility for what you publish.
I am extremely anti-LLM for basically everything but even I can see this moral panic for what it is. Sadly not the first time David Gerard (the author of this blog) has fallen into it.
Eh, I'm really not worried. The decomps are interesting as a proof of concept, but they really really aren't very good, and once the VC funding runs out and the vibe coders have to invest actual money, you'll see a big decrease in these decomps and vibe coded apps. The world of foss will largely return to the hands of the people who actually care about the quality of their code.
Honestly, what would be nice is for a community like this to serve as gatekeeper with high standards for decomp projects to meet. Sure 99% won't make it in but who cares?
I know we're in the Wild West days right now but eventually things will settle. If the foss community can find a way to make torrents organized safe and accessible they can do anything.
Is there a step by step tutorial for this you know of?
I'm exhausted from writing poetry all the time I want something that can do that for me.
