@mjg59 don't think I've seen details of that behaviour, got a link?(not doubting - looking for more info; the only thing I know of them so far is "some people seem to have liked them for better results" and the eich thing now)

@lritter "fun"wonder if it's a fuckup on ESM channel settings, or an aggressive push trying to get more people on ESM(I don't use ubuntu myself, so I don't track it closely enough to know what's potting)

@lritter fwiw going by https://ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle I _think_ that popup is probably a mistakeat least, squinting at the colour line and position(wow what a shitty display table)

@cadey “could not be gracefully handled” is sure a choice phrase in light of “turned hundreds of thousands of windows computers and their dependent sectors into sludge for over a day”

@shironeko @thejpster @dramforever @whitequark eh, that's a bunch of bikeshedding. it misses the core part of what catherine already pointed out (the ethics and action of shifting the onus onto reviewers), and further fails to interrogate the motivation and dynamics of a person that would be doing something like this (dumping llm code on people without telling them about it). a stance of "no" is clear and direct: anyone found to violate the established norm can then be easily removed

@bortzmeyer any idea how much will be streamed? The list I saw over the weekend looked extremely small, but wasn’t sure if it was still being uploaded

@tommorris I have this incredible memory of, in 1999, seeing in a store a washing machine with a literal rotary timer switch control, being marked as "y2k safe"I reflect on that thought often in the current mania of shoving prompts into every damned thing that don't need prompts (or any other kind of useless rebranded-ML algorithm)"marketing and leadership DEMAND we find a use for AI" again and again and again

before some odious replies come along, let me outline a few thingsI *start* at hating this shit because of the theftbecause I can *see* how little regard they have for others’ IP and ownership (run a few websites - you’ll see how the scrapers act)that already tells you *everything* you need to know about the people behind these services (no, they are not tools)then next I hate them for their impact. environmental. social. infosystem.all poisoned, now, today.then for the future.

I stare in borderline dread at the next 15~20 yearsnot simply because of all the fucking fascists and their bullshit (which these lying machines are overtly part of), but also because of the impact i see these things makeI see these utterly unviable companies trying their fucking hardest to grab land share as quick as possible, to make people *reliant* on them. to *displace*. and I know they know only one business model: rentware.

if they could get away with it, they’d commercialise your every interaction and thought experienceso many things today already have, but it is as nothing to where these fuckers would want to take this stuffso there’s all that, and then in a couple of years from now, *we* get to do toxic waste cleanup in the world they’ve ruinedfuck that. fuck them. resist this shit now. don’t cede a fucking inch. feed them iocaine, burn their money. bring them ruin.

@hrbrmstr @abucci given that karpathy's the _root_ of the term "vibe coding" (and thus could be argued to be responsible for kicking off this entire substrain of bullshit), that doesn't really surprise me muchcf: https://awful.systems/post/3436005/6122830
