oh god... he has a humongous AI generated PR for julia too https://github.com/tshort/StaticCompiler.jl/pull/180
(Honestly, that's a lot more patience than I'd be able to give what are mostly AI-generated replies, so kudos to these folk.)
I'm a big fan of LLMs but this guy is just a joke. He understand nothing of the code the LLM generates. He says things like "The LLM knows".
He is not going to convince anybody to merge is PRs, since he is not even checking that the tests the LLM generates are correct. It's a joke.
> Beats me. AI decided to do so and I didn't question it.°

But for this guy specifically there's practically complete radio silence during the crypto era. It's only recently with all the AI noise that he's become active here on HN again.
function estimate_method_targets(func_name::Symbol, types::Tuple)
# Conservative estimate
# In a real implementation, we'd query the method table
return 2 # Assume multiple possibilities

If anyone’s answer to “why does your PR do this” is “I don’t know, the AI did it and I didn’t question it” then they need a time out.
Actually, I probably shouldn't make this comment publicly. It could cause another 3-5 programmer-isekai anime series.
I don't know whether to be worried or impressed.
Yes, I made mistakes along the way.
The bottleneck is not coding or creating a PR, the bottleneck is the review.
It could first judge whether the PR is frivolous, then try to review it, then flag a human if necessary.
The problem is that Github, or whatever system hosts the process, should actively prevent projects from being DDOS-ed with PR reviews since using AI costs real money.
The established projects are resistant to YOLOing their projects and running them on complete LLM autopilot.
You are proposing a completely different development style.
Fork Ocaml to Oca-LLM and Julia to Jul-AI and see how it goes.
I do think this is where we are heading, though.
No, existing open source projects are not ready for this and likely won't ever be.
It will start in the corporate world and maybe already has.

which is it?
When the world is telling you to fucking stop, maybe take a moment and listen.
As a troll job for the lulz it is some amazing work. Hats off
The breezy "challenge me on this" and "it's just a proof of concept" remarks are infuriating. Pull requests are not conversation starters. They aren't for promoting something you think people should think about. The self-absorption and self-indulgence beggar belief.
Your homepage repeatedly says you're open to work and want someone to hire you. I can't imagine anybody looking at those PRs or your behavior in the discussions and concluding that you'd be a good addition to a team.
The cluelessness is mind-boggling.
It's so bad that I'm inclined to wonder whether you really are human -- or whether you're someone's stealthy, dishonest LLM experiment.
