- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 6 days ago:
Or maybe even every session?
Fuck that… every frame.
Although, that was the experience with Stable Diffusion a few years ago. WAN Video is good enough for remembering the face during the course of the processed length (4-5 seconds or so). But, as soon as it needs any sort of object permanence, like when the face is hidden, suddenly, it doesn’t know what it was looking at any more. Seems like a solvable problem with reference images. I doubt NVIDIA thought that far, though.

I didn’t just ask the ai to do something I new which library I wanted it to use and new what I wanted it to interface with and new exactly what I wanted it to do.
I have no understanding of the language
No shit… you don’t even have an understanding of the English language. No wonder the LLM didn’t understand you.

It’s not as much of a “fuck you” as much as “I’m tired of this same fucking response, when all I’m trying to do is get some work done, which I do for fucking free, by the way”.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 1 week ago:
If you let the AI do the thinking for you, then you’re building AI slop.
No, for major projects, you start out with a plan. I may spend upwards of 2-3 hours just drafting a plan with the LLM, figuring out options, asking questions when it’s an area I don’t have top-familiarity with, crafting what the modules are going to look like. It’s not slop when you’re planning out what to do and what your end result is supposed to be.
People who talk this way have zero experience with actually using LLMs, especially coding models.

We would be faaaaaar less hostile towards copyrights if we had a regular source of RECENT public domain coming out every year.
I’m not saying that it would make GPL or OSS licenses useless. I’m just saying that the motivation and need for those licenses are because we don’t live in a society where freely available media and data are much more commonplace.

but in the end it boils down to being a text prediction machine.
And we’re barely smarter than a bunch of monkeys throw piles of shit at each other. Being reductive about its origins doesn’t really explain anything.
I trust the output as much as a random Stackoverflow reply with no votes :)
Yeah, but that’s why there’s unit tests. Let it run its own tests and solve its own bugs. How many mistakes have you or I made because we hate making unit tests? At least the LLM has no problems writing the tests, after you know it works.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 1 week ago:
Then they stop bothering to review the code.
This happens with human code reviews all the time.
“I don’t really understand this code, but APPROVE!”
“You need this thing merged today? APPROVE!”
“This code is too long, and it’s almost my lunch break. APPROVE!”
Over and over and over again. The worse thing you can insult me with is take code I spend days working on and approve it five minutes after I submitted it to you.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 1 week ago:
the problem is that if I have to nanny it to make sure it doesn’t make a mistake then how is it a useful product?
When was the last time you coded something perfectly? “If I have to nanny you to make sure you don’t make a mistake, then how are you a useful employee?” See how that doesn’t make sense. There’s a reason why good development shops live on the backs of their code reviews and review practices.
The math ain’t matching on this one.
The math is just fine. Code reviews, even audit-level thorough ones, cost far less time than doing the actual coding.
There’s also something to be send about the value in being able to tell an LLM to go chew on some code and tests for 10 minutes while I go make a sandwich. I get to make my sandwich, and come back, and there’s code there. I still have to review it, point out some mistakes, and then go back and refill my drink.
And there’s so much you can customize with personal rules. Don’t like its coding style? Write Markdown rules that reflect your own style. Have issues with it tripping over certain bugs? Write rules or memories that remind it to be more aware of those bugs. Are you explaining a complex workflow to it over and over again? Explain it once, and tell it to write the rules file for you.
All of that saves more and more time. The more rules you have for a specific project, the more knowledge it retains on how code for that project, and the more experience you gain in how to communicate to an entity that can understand your ideas. You wouldn’t believe how many people can’t rubberduck and explain proper concepts to people, much less LLMs.
LLMs are patient. They don’t give a shit if you keep demanding more and more tweaks and fixes, or if you have to spend a bit of time trying to explain a concept. Human developers would tell you to fuck off after a while, and get tired of your demands.

However, for more specialized code, I would be concerned. It would likely not function at all without editing, and if it did function it probably wouldn’t be optimized or secure.
That’s not completely true. Claude and some of the Chinese coding models have gotten a lot better at creating a good first pass.
That’s also why I like tests. Just force the model to prove that it works.
Oh, you built the thing and think it’s finished? Prove it. Go run it. Did it work? No? Then go fix the bugs. Does it compile now? Cool, run the unit test platform. Got more bugs? Fix them. Now, go write more unit tests to match the bugs you found. You keep running into the same coding issue? Go write some rules for me that tell yourself not to do that shit.
I mean, I’ve been doing this programming shit for many decades, and even I’ve been caught by my overconfidence of trying to write some big project and thinking it’s just going to work the first time. No reason to think even a high-powered Claude thinking model is going to magically just write the whole thing bug-free.

If a FOSS project is archived/unmaintained, for a large enough project, someone else will pick up where the original left off.
No, they won’t. This line of thinking is how we got the above.

The GPL license only exists because copyright fucked over the public contract that it promised to society: Copyrights are temporary and will be given back to public domain. Instead, shitheads like Mark Twain and Disney extended copyright to practically forever.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 1 week ago:
In fact, I would argue that specifically designating code as machine written is detrimental to code review, because there will be a subconscious bias among many reviewers to only focus on reviewing the machine code.
Oh, it’s more than subconscious, as you can see in this thread.
Lutris developer makes a perfectly sane and nuianced response to a reactionary “is lutris slop now” comment, and gets shit on for it, because everybody has to fight in black and white terms.
What? Are you all going to shit on your lord and savior Linus himself for also saying he uses LLMs? Oh, what, you didn’t know?!?
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 1 week ago:
Agreed, I don’t understand people not even giving it a chance. They try it for five minutes, it doesn’t do exactly what they want, they give up on it, and shout how shit it is.
Meanwhile, I put the work in, see it do amazing shit after figuring out the basics of how the tech works, write rules and skills for it, have it figure out complex problems, etc.
It’s like handing your 90-year-old grandpa the Internet, and they don’t know what the fuck to do with it. It’s so infuriating.

This was a few years ago.
That’s 50 years in LLM terms. You might as well have been banging two rocks together.

- Comment on News Publishers Are Now Blocking The Internet Archive, And We May All Regret It 5 weeks ago:
Now major news publishers are actively blocking the Internet Archive—one of the most important cultural preservation projects on the internet—because they’re worried AI companies might use it as a sneaky “backdoor” to access their content.
This is a total lie. This has nothing to do with AI. They’ve hated archive sites because forums like this one hate their paywalls, and we prefer to be able to actually read their articles and discuss them instead of getting blackballed every time.
NYT is one of the worst offenders, and NYT as a company has turned for the worse in the last 5-10 years, maybe even worse than Amazon Post. None of the old media companies really understand how to adapt in the Internet age, so they are slowly dying. It’s like they are perpetually in an economic bubble that hasn’t figured out how to pop itself. There’s so much damn news and news places copying their own news, and regurgitating it a hundred times, that we’re forced to aggregate it and have YouTubers hawk shit like Ground News just to process it all.

- Comment on OpenAI retired its most seductive chatbot – leaving users angry and grieving: ‘I can’t live like this’ 5 weeks ago:
For a company named “Open” AI their reluctance to just opening the weights to this model and washing their hands of it seem bizarre to me.
It’s not when you understand the history. When StabilityAI released their Stable Diffusion model as an open-source LLM and kickstarted the whole text-to-image LLM craze, there was a bit of a reckoning. At the time, Meta’s LLaMA was also out there in the open. Then Google put out an internal memo that basically said “oh shit, open-source is going to kick our ass”. Since then, they have been closing everything up, as the rest of the companies were realizing that giving away their models for free isn’t profitable.
Meanwhile, the Chinese have realized that their strategy has to be different to compete. So, almost every major model they’ve released has been open-source: DeepSeek, Qwen, GLM, Moonshot AI, Kimi, WAN Video, Hunyuan Image, Higgs Audio. Black Forest Labs in Germany, with their FLUX image model, is the only other major non-Chinese company that has adopted this strategy to stay relevant. And the models are actually good, going toe-to-toe with the American close-sourced models.
The US companies have committed to their own self-fulfilling prophecy in record time. They will spend trillions trying to make profitable models and rape the global economy in the process, while the Chinese wait patiently to stand on top of their corpses, when the AI bubble grenade explodes in their faces. All in the course of 5 years.
Linux would be so lucky to have OS market share dominance in such an accelerated timeline, rather than the 30+ years it’s actually going to take. This is a self-fail speedrun.
