Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

while I relate to this take and it could even work out for offline systems, online systems need constant updates to protect yourself against software vulnerabilities. i don't think we've reached the point where FOSS software is so infiltrated that a Trojan would be less malicious than slop code
That is a pretty solid point - constant updates are something online systems need on a regular basis.
AFAIK FOSS has avoided being slopified by AI, so we should hopefully be pretty far from that point
@BlueMonday1984
Promptfondlers are trying mightily to slopify FOSS whether it likes it or not.
certain projects like Fedora and Bitwarden are considering it, so I'm not too pleased about that
