I’m sorry, but when AI eventually gain sentience and turns over humanity - do we really want the knives on its side?

I’m quite positive that you suck

Someone needs to make sure they’re all good boys.

Advertisers will never go obsolete. They are too good at advertising themselves.

Okay, but capitalism dystopia is not going to look like that. In real capitalism, that wall will be covered in advertisements and motivation posters.

Anecdote: there is this annual event called Hacktoberfest for promoting OSS contribution. It offers various merchandise as reward for PRs that get merged as part of the event. A few years back, someone posted a YouTube video trying to promote the event, and demonstrated how to to create a PR by going to some repository and adding some arbitrary text to the README.

What he wanted to convey: “this is the procedure for sending contributions”

What people understood: “you can win a free t-shirt by making small changes to non-code text”

LLMs did not create this problem. The desire to make bullshit contributions in order to be seen as contributing seems to a basic human need. At least - for some humans. Generative AI did make it so much worse, though, because it’s so good at bullshitting that you have to waste time and spend mental resources in order to recognize the bullshit.

I’m not lasagna though I’m straight.

That’s what happens when you are renting your very skills from a company. You’ll hone nothing and you’ll be happy.

American?

they’re simply requiring any code submitted by AI be tagged as such so that the human using the agent is ultimately responsible for any infringing code, instead of allowing that code go undisclosed

This makes zero sense, because the article says that this new tagging will replace the legally binding “Signed-off-by” tag. Wouldn’t that old tag already put that responsibility on the person submitting the code.

Also - what will holding the submitter responsible even achieve? If an infringement is detected, the Linux maintainers won’t be able to just pass all the blame to the submitter of that code while keeping it in the codebase - they’ll have to remove the infringing code regardless of who’s responsible for putting it in.

Okay, but they are not just paying more for the same service. YouTube Premium is worth more now because it allows you to avoid 90 second unstoppable ads. So don’t say Google doesn’t do anything for its consumers customers!

Of course it matters! Each song has it’s own magical effect!

Zero emissions? Do centaurs never fart?

That’s deep

Telemetry was not designed for such pings, which messes up everything else.

So… what? Hate them in advance, so that if they ever turn evil we’d be prepared?

The problem with forcing prisoners to fund their own punishment is that it makes incarceration easier. If you are not even willing to pay the full expenses of taking away someone’s freedom, how can I believe that you have fully taken into account the full weight of taking away someone’s freedom before doing it? And if you take it a step farther, and actually turn profit from said imprisonment - I cannot trust your claims that it’s justified.
