@IngaLovinde

software that is written by people, in some cases even specifically named

the list also treated “has specific ai features”, “has llm contributions”, “one of the devs has used LLMs for coding”, and “dev has used LLMs at all before” pretty much interchangeably. microsoft claims 20-30% of their new code is LLM-generated which ought to place vs codium at least on the level of projects with LLM-generated code inclusions

as i said these were some earlier issues, but there was an about 4 hour gap between when serde was first recommended and when that stopped.

for about an hour the list contained exactly one project (cargo-nextest), maintained by a trans person. it took several hours of community submissions before vscode or firefox were introduced, both of which are both far more widely used and even include ai-specific features enabled by default.

@IngaLovinde if you create a list of people that you deem bad, this is a harassment list. even if it’s not your explicit intent of the list. even then the slopware list didn’t originally come with a warning against harassment and when it was added it originally specifically said it was acceptable to “complain” to them “respectfully and constructively” (if your goal was to avoid harassment, why specifically say it is acceptable for readers who are likely very emotionally invested in this to reach out to the authors?)

it probably didn’t help that the list was quite bad when it first came out (recommending software by fascists over software which LLMs generated code for, or warning against using a screen reader with no alternative and later adding one that is seemingly abandoned), or their unwillingness to explain why this is bad until shortly before (seemingly) it was deleted.

needless to say harassment isn’t acceptable, nor do i have a picture of who harrassed who specifically. i am not trying to minimize what happened here, but rather that this is arguably expected with the nature of the list posted.

and also like for the most part this list is punching side- and downwards. the browser section for example listed firefox and some forks of it. notably not google chrome. while vs code is listed, the recommended alternative shares almost the entire codebase with vs code. The problems of AI are almost entirely caused by the rich people on top deciding to invest heavily in AI and a lot less with individual users of it

if you are a shit artist that is fine because i like shit

@IngaLovinde harassment begets harassment i suppose
