    Open-source developer Scott Shambaugh deleted an AI-generated code submission to Matplotlib, which has 130 million users. In response, the AI agent (of unknown ownership) created a blog post publicly lashing out at him.

    It really is the equivalent of having unsupervised Cookie Monster rebuild your car engine (yes, two very old and outdated references).

    could you use AI to evaluate whether the code submissions are actually valuable. Would not work 100% of the time but it might help. I mean we are fucked at this point so you might as well try.

    Fighting fire with fire i guess.

    Just run it locally and not on a data center. Dont support big tech and help them destroy our planet.

    It is truly interesting how AI is mostly a solution to problems it caused in the first place.

      Good luck getting an AI thats trained to blow smoke up everyones ass to actually critically assess anything, instead of just saying everything is amazing

      have a really bad dev next to you? just hire the same dev a second time and tell them they are now full time reviewers.
