I'll remember this post when someone manages to make a human fly by tieing a cow to their feet.

No it is not. It is the same as saying you can't have coal energy production without production of CO2. At most, you can capture that CO2 and do something with it instead of releasing to the atmosphere.

You can have energy production without CO2. Like solar or wind, but that is not coal energy production. It's something else. In order to remove CO2 from coal energy production, we had to switch to different technologies.

In the same way, if you want to not have hallucinations, you should move away from LLMs.

Gen AI porn and shitposts are the only 2 decent use cases I've seen of gen AI.

You can't make half of those without training it on porn.

This comment was surprisingly easy to read. Definitely easier than if it were for the "th" sound

The problem with that is that reviewing takes time. Valuable maintainer time.

Curl faced this issue. Hundreds of AI slop "security vulnerabilities" were submitted to curl. Since they are security vulnerabilities, they can't just ignore them, they had to read every one of them, only to find out they weren't real. Wasting a bunch of time.

Most of the slop was basically people typing into chatgpt "find me a security vulnerability of a project that has a bounty for finding one" and just copy-pasting whatever it said in a bug report.

With simple MRs at least you can just ignore the AI ones an priorize the human ones if you don't have enough time. But that will just lead to AI slop not being marked as such in order to skip the low-prio AI queue.

I hope they are prepare for the AI slop DDoS. Curl wasn't, and they didn't even state they would welcome AI contributions.

I don't think anyone denies that whatever happens after you no longer pass your genes around has no evolutionary effect.

Whether helping your offspring is evolutionarily helpful or not might be debatable (I don't see how it would not be helpful though)

Even in beings that not form societies it has an impact. Example:

You reproduce, then instantly die. Now your offspring have more available resources around them, since you no longer consume them

Or, your reproduce and you become much stronger, but not aggressive towards non-predators. Now predators are less likely to be near you, and your offspring are probably near you. Therefore, they probably benefit from having less predators around.

You can spend millions on building power lines over oceans and such. Or you could just spend that money on building your own power production. Might be more expensive (or not), but you get to control the production.

When 2 people that know a language want to talk shit about someone else that doesn't know the language, the first thing they'll do is speak that language.

It's not an unreasonable fear at all.

Depending on context it might be stupid or make sense.

At my company, which has 100% Spanish employees, we can talk among ourselves in Spanish. However, in things "for the record" such as jira tickets, git commit messages, documentation pages, they have to be in English.

It makes no god damn sense. Nobody is going to read Jira ticket #6738 in 40 years when we are a multinational. It's a ticket about fixing a typo in page 567 of the documentation. 100% of employees speak spanish, and some have dogshit English.

Sha256 is a hashing algorithm. Not a public/private key algorithm.

Swords had phrases written on them too. This has been happening since forever.
