• Useless fake spam content.
• Posting AI slop ruins the “social” part of social media. You’re not reading real human thoughts anymore, just statistically plausible words.
• Same with machine-generated “art”. What’s the point?
• AI companies are leeches; they steal work for the purpose of undercutting the original creators with derivative content.
• Vibe coders produce utter garbage that nobody, especially not themselves understands, and somehow are smug about it.
• A lot of AI stuff is a useless waste of resources.

Most of the hate is justified IMO, but a couple weeks ago I died on the hill arguing that an LLM can be useful as a code documentation search engine. Once the train started, even a reply that thought software libraries contain books got upvotes.

Pick your side, they’re mutually exclusive! Only those who cheer on palestinian deaths can oppose the russian attack.

What a shit troll.

Surely you’re also powering those appliances wirelessly

“A very 80s thing” is an odd way to put it.

I hate cables sometimes, but I also don’t like managing batteries.

The worst I’ve got so far hasn’t been hallucinated “books”, but stuff like functions from a previous major version of the api mixed in.

I’m most of the time on the opposite side of the AI arguments, but I don’t think it’s unreasonable to use an LLM as a documentation search engine. The article itself also points out copilot’s usefulness for similar things, but seems the opinion lost the popular vote here.

Yeah, I guess that can happen. For me, it has saved much more time than it has wasted, but I’ve only used it on relatively popular libraries with stable apis, and don’t ask for complex things.

If you don’t know what the code does, you’re vibe coding. The point is to not waste time searching. Obviously you’re supposed to check the docs yourself, but that’s much less tedious and time consuming than finding it, if the docs are hard to navigate.

Unlike vibe coding, asking an LLM how to access some specific thing in a library when you’re not even sure what to look for is a legitimate use case.

Not this Daniel Johnson?

If they’re doing HL, I expect a Half-Life: <something other than 3>

Nice egui

I wouldn’t call them my favourites, but I will call them a perfect fit. The licensed soundtrack in MW has exactly the correct feel for the game.

Guess this a good example of what I don’t want to affect. IMO the examples for controversal in this thread range between acceptable and amazing.

Fuck homogenized UI design

I agree with the opinion, I like diversity, but disagree on what counts. It’s a spectrum, and this is at the lighter end. I’m hoping to make the suggestions as loose as possible, just enough to avoid stuff like the first example.

Let devs do whatever they fuck they want.

The point is not to force anyone to do anything, not that they even could be forced. The point is to get people to pay attention to what others are doing instead of unintentionally reinventing the wheel. No hard rules.

Pick the app you want and then learn its icons.

There’s no “the” app. For example, I don’t like photon as much on my phone, and I very much don’t like voyager on desktop. Relearning how to read icons when switching apps can also suck.

But anyway, I’ll keep this in mind. If the reception becomes mostly negative, I’ll shut up about this.

I’ll have a look at the code and issues to get a feel of what I’m getting into, and then see what I’m able to work on

First thing I notice while trying this app is that these icons should really be standardized:

Interstellar	Photon	Voyager

Anyway, the app seems cool. I’ve used flutter just a tiny bit, so maybe I can help a little.
