I was just thinking yesterday that some of what these AI generated sites have exposed is just how vacuous and low information content a lot of websites have become. The difference is previously you could at least say, "hey, someone at least spent a little money to create this" now that cost is pretty much zero. I think the answer is to simply demand more from people who have real products. If you have a product, I want to see a screenshot. Even better a demo and I'm not hitting the "schedule a demo" button. Either you step up and demonstrate capability or you're going to get lost in the noise.

You can add :p to print the command.

I like to alias it to "please"

Oh, nice.

I alias'ed it to please as well. But because I use fish, I had to do this: alias please 'sudo (history -1)'

I can't help thinking of David Rees. This guy is hilarious https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KabOfnbS4TQ&t=139s

>People need to stop yelling "Slop!" all the time

People are applying that label to anything that has the taint of AI on it. I get why.

I realize there are a lot of reasons why people hate AI, but one that is frequently cited is that it's dehumanizing. It's kind of ridiculous to see those same sort of people call something "slop" when I've put tens of hours into guiding the AI tooling. Talk about dehumanizing!

It's not performative though. Slop is a burden. I'm sorry you feel excluded by that, but an AI generated PR is not of much value. The maintainer could just as easily do that, if that's what they wanted. Plus lets be realistic about why people contribute slop PRs, it's not for the betterment of the project usually, it's because they either want credit for a "contribution" they didn't bother to make themselves (If you give credit for that, then being a "contributor" is a worthless badge), or they're spamming people for bug bounties.

It's an underrated point that providing LLM output to someone else is worthless because if they wanted it, they could put in the same input.

Forming the prompt is still a skill, tokens aren't free, and it all takes some time and attention, which also has a price. So someone else doing that for you isn't exactly worthless, if they do a good job of it.

Forming prompts is not a noteworthy skill. This is just a PM fantasy.

If they do a good job of it it won't be identifiable as AI output.

I guess you're just supposed to read Clausewitz not actually understand it.

The drinking caused by the reading tends to interfere with the understanding.

A man of culture, I see.

I'm done. The cognitive dissonance over AI has jumped the shark. It's not fair that it's everywhere. It's not fair that only a few have it. It's not fair that it uses so much electricity. It's not fair that it's killing my environment. It's not fair there's a datacenter in my back yard. It's not fair there isn't a datacenter in my back yard. It's not fair that it threatens my job. It's not fair that my employer doesn't give me access to AI.

I don’t think it’s as cognitively dissonant as you make it out to be, the dominating sentiment outside the corp world is quite negative. Yeah there are a few positive perspectives to be had, and not to mention complexity of perspective does not imply cognitive dissonance. I think you may be building up a straw man.

A large number of logically irreconcilable perspectives (in one's own mind) is the precise definition of cognitive dissonance. You also say that I may be building a straw man without even trying to point out where you think I've done that. You've already conceded my argument that there are many competing perspectives and I make no attempt to poke any holes in that so there is no straw man.

You forgot that its making all the games and electronics more expensive for everyone

Can't really win can ya? Scarce? They're driving up prices! Plentiful? It's all a big bubble!

I've always loved the original work and it's nice to see they're still working on it. I've always wondered if there was a way to connect this back to infrastructure rather than images. Something you could run on a cluster and if portions of it failed it would regenerate the system.

Like a bio inspired Kubernettes.....Bionettes.

> "no single „this is what this project is” anywhere in the repo description, readme or docs. "

That sounds like he read through the docs to me and make a perfectly valid observation that that the maintainers might find valuable. He didn't criticize them for not doing it he just pointed out that it wasn't there. You then told him to RTFM when you didn't seem to spend much time reading what he had written.

If you can't figure out what the project is, while the description says "...card emulation more stable. And gave the chameleon the ability to read, write, and decrypt cards...." then I'm not sure you should be playing with software that can easily cross the line of breaking laws. Grey-hat software like this rarely screams "NFC CRACKER" since it hurts the credibility, is more likely to get it flagged by automated scans, and attracts skids. Look what happened to the flipper...

Also, my comment was in reply to 'What if I want to learn more about it'. RTFM is the objectively correct response, no short description is going to help there. Maybe we have different ideas of what "learn more" means
