continuing on the theme of promptfondlers shitting up open source (or at least attempting to), look at this nightmare pr

for those who may not software:

  • this pr is basically unreviewably large
  • it’s clearly just autoplag-sourced slop
  • there is zero engagement from the person with the actual goals of the project or open source

(related tangent: @cstross' Singularity series is a pretty fun topical dive about this, and he's been following these nutjobs for probably close to 3 decades now)

references these two topics. I suspect the phrase itself in this case is a shitpost taking aim at some of the absurd bullshit TESCREALists come up with in their nonsensegabble, but ...... it is also the kind of nonsensegabble that some of them may unironically post

I present to you, this amazing screenshot from r/vibecoders:

transcriptsubject: thoughts on using experts (humans) to unblock vibe coders when Al fails? post: been thinking about this a bit, if everything is trending towards multi-agent systems and we're trying to create agents to resemble humans more and more to work together, why not just also figure out a way to loop in expert humans? Seems like a lot of the problems non-eng vibe coders have could be a quick fix for a senior eng that they could loop in.

a lot of which also exists on the archives here (although I guess now with that side also existing as frankenstein's monster there might be some funkiness going on)

remember, the actual design name is Liquid Ass

screenshot of youtube video pre-roll still showing the Liquid Glass themescreen with the play button obscuring the letters g and l

(still amazing that they PR blundered that, and how rapidly just that got fixed while addressing nothing else about this stupid thing)

yes, sneerclub exists to ridicule these people (see sub sidebar for some links)

and yep, your takeaway about that language is exactly right. although every single one of them continues to swear at every opportunity that they're not a cult, even midway through praising their cultlord

I am waiting to officially leave the university to file a formal complaint

I am internally screaming

not that I blame you for this choice (in fact I get it), but it fucking suuuuuuuucks how many places and structures are overly protecting abusers. and it sucks even more how many people are being harmed out of that path as a result.

echoing what o7 said: sorry, this is messed up, it shouldn't be this way

certainly better than seeing the damned cloudflare Click Here To Human box, although I suspect a number of these deployments still don’t sponsor Xe or the project development :/

hi it's me, your locally undesignated wordsmith! in today's wordsmithing, one not of my own but I thought worthy of known: robo-scab

(cred to @dgerard for linking upskeet that got me finding this. also I was so close; close but no cigar, I guess)
