The way I've seen it work is basically pointing an agent directly to the ticket, or via a proxy description.

There's a good chance that if the agent cannot handle it, a human wouldn't be figuring it out either, without additional context. That context would be the sort of only-Joe-knows-how-it-works, so perhaps something worth addressing in any case.

Is it though? I see this occurring every day in a number of projects I have visibility to.

Isn't this exactly why OS projects are over-burdened by the firehose of contributions? The maintainers will want to read the code contributions, while those up-to-date with the latest models/agents/tools already trust their output to be above the average developer's (whatever that means in practice).

Correct, but I increasingly find that the version control is just a storage for code and a place to trigger CI/CD from.

Edit: ...and that the source code is useful in retaining enough context of the problem being solved. So, most people will not store the prompts, trusting that the source code provides context for the next iteration.

> I sincerely don’t understand what the people who say they no longer read any code are doing

Welcome to the present.

Like many of us do not read the machine code generated by a C++ compiler, the code generated by an agent is similarly irrelevant and disposable, by now.

Apart from fire and shelter, a person really does not _require_ that much. These are luxury items, to which the basic rationale does not apply.

A mere "inconvenience" would do.

> Buy a good "dumb" TV

Unfortunately, you can't have one without the other. The best, image quality -wise, TVs are all "smart".

It's unfortunate LG screens are still the best in image quality, even though competition is getting closer. That said, the best way to use LG TVs is to immediately disconnect them from the internet and use an Apple TV 4K for streaming applications.

Triplane Turmoil was better.

Looks like a pretty de-facto Amiga game of the era, to be honest.

Amiga 500 (and 1000 prior to it) supported smooth scrolling by simply setting the screen-visible pointer in memory.

They basically twiddle with the distribution of used output tokens so that the pattern is recognizable by machine means. Nothing to do with special characters.

Reaper is available on Linux.

There’s always Reaper.

Looks ok but easy to get lost literally into the weeds of the vegetation.

Looks cool. Some of the paths get prematuraly clipped when they're still partially on the screen.

Indeed - obvious AI slop with the annoying language all of the place.

I swear, whenever there is a new font, there’s a documentary of its making.

> we can freely pan the camera around to see the Moon

It looks like we can orbit or move around the Moon, instead. Panning usually refers rotating the camera from a fixed position.

> Honest limits

…and it’s slop.

Grok, is this true?

> Something is deeply wrong with AI generated output

For me, it is the endless maximalism and hyperbole. Almost if the output was driven through a radio-mix compressor - too loud for the reader/listener to be able to pickup any dynamics.

Apologies - it seems my morning-brain backfired. We’re talking about h.263-era, instead (DivX, Xvid, etc.).

> MPEG-4 Part 2

Yes, if you care about the DVD-era still. If not, this expiry doesn't have a big impact on anything.

Agreed, it is abolutely an issue. It is quite difficult to find an optimal solution to some problem when every considered new idea is ”definitely the right shape”.

It will start with this and end with Snowpiercer.

> But the result would give us exactly the right incentives.

Say what you say, but there's plenty in that article looking like it came out of an LLM. This could of course be my own paranoia, since there's a lot of slop coming out right now.

Reading this my slop-sense is tingling.

This is quite excellent.

Was the prompt "fuck up my system, please." or how did you manage this? I've used Codex for ages without any of these kinds of issues.

Ahhaha. JBoss, the glorified web-app server that booted for tens of minutes. It was the peak of Java-based over-engineering.
