* you're all dumb haters
* AI is a revolution just in the past few months
* yes there were regressions but,
* the new test suite is awesome you haters
* openrsync doesn't pass the new test suite! ha, you fools! well that's cos it targets an older version but,at least it reads like he wrote it by hand
i can pick the particular mastodon posts he's reacting to here
@davidgerard and that's how you dig your hole with the help of an fucking excavator.

To be fair, what he writes, for the most part, doesn't even sound unreasonable to me, if I try to ignore the parts that are AI-pilled hyperbole.
@quincy yeah, it looks fine if you remove the context ...

@davidgerard Seems to me that a root issue may be "I don't want to be the maintainer of this package any more - I'd rather be sailing - but I am not taking any (apparent) action to get others to take it over.
I've no problem with a retired maintainer of a bedrock package wanting to avoid spending their life on it. The responsible approach is to look for somebody (or a group of somebodies) to take it over, rather than to try to automate the responsibilities.

@Netzblockierer @davidgerard What happened with Vim?

> Also, nobody actually knows if human intelligence is just finer grained stochastic prediction as well.
lmfao yes we do, people are not LLMs
@Li @davidgerard ah yeah the mark of someone who got one-shotted

> I’m a software engineer with 40 years experience (yeah, I’m OLD!), so ... I thought it would be a good idea to do the core structure for the new test suite in public on master
Ah fuck, he's gone senile.

@sharpcheddargoblin he's got a lot to be arrogant about! unfortunately,
@davidgerard Well, he has some great accomplishments, sure. Just another case of shitting all over your past successes. Sad to see.
-
@chiffchaff @davidgerard no one made him do it. He did it to himself and now refuses to take responsibility as clearly we are all morons and not Australia's only programmer...

@Netzblockierer @davidgerard What happened with Vim?
@hugoestr @Netzblockierer long time maintainer died, his most likely backup had died a few years before, so the new guy was overwhelmed and went straight to the slop machine. Two non-vibe forks, evi and vim-classic.

@Li @davidgerard has that “scientists are undecided on climate change” energy
i would rather not read a blost that is entirely product of slopsychosis tbh

@davidgerard i thought he didn't had enough people to help him fix open CVEs, so he used claude for that(?). tho, still its a bad decision to do.
its kind of sad to see a person ruin their entire reputation as the professional foss developer (as much as i know) because they decided "fuck it", and use llm for their code.
to clarify, im not entirely against llm-assisted code IF its a tiny-winy bit, but still, knowing that some part of the software is written using llm-assistance, feels wrong, and overall acts as the anti-ad for the software itself.
i will avoid rsync, because... im kind of didn't used it at all before, and the presence of the llm-assisted code is a sign that i probably shouldn't trust the software.
p.s. i dont use llms for coding in my own projects.

@Netzblockierer @davidgerard thanks so much. Time to explore those
