No, forward slash. No, the — It’s the one that goes up and to the right. No you do have one, trust me, just keep look — No, you can’t just use the “other slash”, and it’s called “backslash”. … Well because different things mean different things, Phil. sigh Just, it’s the one you think of when you write a fraction. No that’s a hyphen. It’s angled, remember? Why did you type 5? Oh, the percent sign. No I see why that — Well, because you didn’t use the shift key. Yeah it’s the one — You just hit enter, didn’t you?

“Did you just have Claude ship all this code?”

“Yep”

“You shouldn’t ship code you don’t understand…”

“Good point. Claude, go understand this code for me!”

The command opened the alternate buffer.

I’ve seen that name a bunch but never bothered figuring out who that is. Does this mean I put it off for long enough that I no longer need to?

Some people genuinely have a problem with it.

But I’m convinced that the majority of it is just: It’s embarrassing (and therefore costs social capital) to defend it.

So therefore: If you attach it to something else you want to attack, you just gave yourself a strategic advantage.

Being a Luddite isn’t going to help anyone.

Not taking a side in this thread, but you might wanna learn more about the Luddites. Their story is very relevant to today.

I can’t do basic, boring, uninteresting stuff.

But if you tell me “I’m not sure this is technically possible. Like, it should be, in theory, but nobody’s ever done it before…” I will work on that for 56 hours without eating or sleeping.

A lot of it probably isn’t legal, but who’s gonna prosecute them?

Whatever specific class I am, my play style is definitely “glass cannon”.

Anthropic, without an ounce of self-awareness: “Hey, just cuz you used AI to change it doesn’t mean you can copy our stuff and use it to compete against us!”

We are ruinning language for the sake of engagement.

Went from believing “yes” is inevitable to believing “no” is inevitable instead of learning the lesson that most of this is just random

In context, it sounds like he’s “disappointed a lot” by people choosing to use AI, which is a crucial distinction. His objection is about the kind of society we’re sleepwalking into, not the technical maturity of the current crop of software.

AI’s generated text is “too dry and too perfect, and I want something from a human being, and I’m disappointed a lot.”

I agree with Prime on most things, but I think he’s getting this one wrong.

There are more options than just “light-hearted satire” and “earnest business idea”.

The FOSDEM talk is silly, and reads like a skit, but it has a gravely serious undertone.

The security guy has posted on Twitter “I still can’t believe he hooked it up to Stripe lol”.

Meanwhile the LinkedIn of the other guy describes him as a “researcher of political economy of FOSS” at Rochester Institute of Technology, and he runs a non-profit about FOSS for humanitarian aid.

He’s also been very active replying to people talking about the conference talk or the Malus site, asking whether they think this should be legal and what we can do to protect the future of open source.

I think these are people who take this threat very seriously, and are willing to expose themselves to litigation in order to force the issue into courts.
