If they’re forcing their devs to use AI, then they don’t have devs, they have slop wranglers.

You can check out my library, Nymph.js. It’s what powers Port87.

Unfortunately, I don’t have a whole lot of open source code showing how to use it, since it was developed specifically for Port87, which isn’t open source. But there are test files that show how to use it.

I’m starting to think more that I shouldn’t call my library, Numph.js, an ORM. It technically is one, but it’s very different than other ORMs. A lot of the stuff he’s talking about here doesn’t apply to Nymph (for better or for worse). I just don’t know what to call it though.

To me it sounds more like them saying fine we’ll hire real artists, but we won’t hire real devs.

I have yet to see any dev use it in a responsible, effective, and enhancing way. It always makes them take longer and produce worse code. With the exception of those who are already worse coders than the AI.

So, AI generated code, but not AI generated textures. That’s still slop.

Those big tech companies benefit from Linux just like you do, so they spend money to fund its development. They also have engineers working on it.

So, no, it’s not sold to US big tech. It is, in part, funded by US big tech.

He literally built the biggest AI slop empire in existence. Fuck his bullshit.

I bet $1 I could out-weird you.

I struggle to think of anything that AI is good enough (won’t make mistakes) to use in production. It’s fine if you’re making something that doesn’t matter, or in which a mistake wouldn’t be a big deal.

Ok, but the AI actually is bad. Like, it’s bad at writing code. The code I reviewed was sloppy at best. If I got that from a high school student for an assignment, I would give it a B. If I got that from a college senior, I would give it a D. If I got that from a junior dev, I would give them a serious lecture about testing their code.

Heroic + Bottles seems to cover everything I need, so I don’t need Lutris. I’m sorry if those don’t cover all of your needs.

There are lots of legal problems with accepting any AI generated code, regardless of whether it’s bad quality or not. For one, the AI tends to reproduce copyrighted code without a proper license:

Another is that AI generated code is not copyrightable, so even if it’s not copying someone else’s code, it can’t be licensed under an open source license.

What I’m saying is it’s probably not worth forking Lutris because it’s bad code. It would be better to just switch to a better alternative.

Last week, he was saying that everyone was a bullshitter because no one could point to any low quality code the AI produced. So, I reviewed his commits and of the four I reviewed, two had bugs.

Based on the thread I originally linked, and the dev’s response, with regard to Lutris, I think the answer is A.

“that’s a pretty good deal” is him saying he’s fine with those bugs.

He’s also heavily downplaying the severity of that bug. If a user hit that bug, it would keep copying that AppImage file over and over until it filled their disk and crashed the app. Then the user would have to figure out what happened and where all those duplicates were to fix their system, all while things were falling apart because nothing could write to the disk.

Many systems cannot successfully boot if the disk is full, so those users would probably have to reinstall their system if it crashed or they rebooted, and they didn’t know how to navigate a root shell. Even if the system didn’t crash, many apps won’t start if the disk is full, so the user is just going to have a really bad time overall.

Later in the thread, another user defended the severity of the bug by pointing to other bugs that Lutris has shipped which have damaged their users’ systems.

It’s also worth noting that I only reviewed four of his commits and found two bugs, one severe. So the frequency of these bugs seems much higher than without AI tools. Who knows how many others the AI has introduced, but I’m not going to review all of his slop if he can’t even be bothered to do it properly before he commits it.

Thanks. :) So not technically Scheme, but a fork of Scheme.

Script-Fu is probably the oldest binding system for extending GIMP. It is also a Scheme variant, which evolved independently for many years now.

Doesn’t GIMP use Scheme for its plugins?
