They claim nearly every line was rewritten by a human but I'm not sure how you could send a worse signal to your community about how much you aren't listening than having an LLM draft a post saying we're really listening, honest
@cwebber What a weird debate here:
- This sounds like a LLM wrote it.
- Sure for the first draft, but it was rewritten to *match my style*!
- Your """style""" looks very much like a fucking LLM bro... -

@cwebber whew, glad I didn't hitch my goat to that bloating whale carcass
I'm disappointed in Rust, I really wanna use it and like it, but Jesus Christ they make awful decisions

@cwebber why not give it a metallic taste: "It wasn't just improved by humans, it was a deep rewrite"

@cwebber How will managers and bureaucrats of the future learn to write bland corporate pablum if they let the machine do it for them?

@cwebber yeah uh, the general consensus within the project is very LLM-negative, but a vocal minority has been extremely LLM-positive, which is why the project only has a stopgap anti-slop-PR measure until a larger policy is written
it really feels like some major shifts are going to have to happen

@cwebber "They claim nearly every line was rewritten by a human" smells the same as "I have reviewed all the code in this 40k lines monstrosity PR that I made with Claude"

@datenwolf @cwebber I considered learning Rust because I was looking for a modern systems language with modern tooling and without GC but the complicated syntax, the complex toolchain and a lack of a standard is pushing me towards Zig, this is another strong push in that direction.

@emilianosandri @datenwolf @cwebber I dabbled with zig about a year ago and I really liked it...

@cwebber why are people convinced that “I rewrote it in my style” is a thing. Editing is hard. Changing the “style” of a large block of text is extremely difficult without literally rewriting it from scratch, at which point you should just… write it yourself.
Ask for a list of bullet points to cover if you really are incapable, though probably you shouldn’t be given the job of writing community announcements…

@cwebber I'm more and more convinced that there needs to be a complete moratorium on programming until this LLM shit dies in a fire or the FOSS community purges every LLM booster. Name, shame, and ostracize.

@cwebber If they rewrote every sentence, why did they need the LLM in the first place? Lies, lies, lies.

@cwebber idk if they realize but, blog posts are supposed to carry meaning
if you have a slop generator spew something out for you that is a most effective admission you actually have nothing to say

@clarfonthey @cwebber Sounds like a description of software in general - there's only a tiny sliver of people who are positive about LLMs but don't say anything

@SRAZKVT I've bounced off of learning Rust from a technical standpoint a few times now, what's the deal with the community? Maybe I'll have to write it off entirely.
