@mer @whitequark computer hardware markets only do this when they're in extreme distress

@david_chisnall only problem is that the idea of a viable skynet built on slop code breaks the suspension of disbelief

@tante but yeah, the fact the people aren't going to be able to trust FLOSS for the foreseeable future is... unimaginably bad.

it's like if scam health-food influencers took control of the CDC.

i give a shit. i want us, collectively, to deliberately end the entire gen-"a.i." industry. i want the data centers that were built for that purpose to be completely physically dismantled, and the CPUs & DRAM repurposed. i want charges to be brought against its leaders for a wide variety of damages.

@lispi314 @yuri @anderseknert i feel like an ordinary ban is necessary but not sufficient.

wondering if it might help to also use something like temporary IP blocking when this type of behavior is detected.
(that's not going to happen on github, but maybe on sites like codeberg...?)

> this person had the balls

note: not a person; doesn't have balls (or any other biological characteristics). By its own "admission", it is an LLM "agent".

@lesley @demofox i thought proton took care of that...?

@mekkaokereke it does seem like NotJustBikes could spend more time on this. (er... on second thought... has NotJustBikes spent time on this...?)

either that or we need an american version of NotJustBikes with a focus on racism.

@futurebird but on second thought, if it only considers age, then it can't solve problems brought on by other factors (like indications that the older person likely doesn't care about consent in general)

@futurebird the concept of age-of-consent definitely needs to be supplemented with some kind of age-gap-upper-limit-for-consent.

maybe not exactly like this xkcd comic (and maybe not a linear function like in the comic), but this could be a starting point to figure out a better formula (in consultation with psychologists, etc):

@futurebird i wish someone had told me, at that age, that it's unlikely i would interpret the instructions in exactly the same way that the author did
