They did say it was inspired by cargo, which is often installed using rustup as such:

    curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Spammy ai-generated self promotion.

Knowing people have gone full "LLM-brain", it's not subtle.

Yes. There's more than one thing that needs to change if we're going to make it through this.

Slop.

Edit: And if you believe in AI so strongly you can't be arsed to write your own articles, I don't see why you wouldn't just ask it to do the (obviously AI generated) optimization in the first place and not worry about the code.

> What do I do with those reports? Ignore them? Fix the bugs myself? Bleh.

"I don't have access to a test environment, but if you want to write a fix, let me know and I may be able to point you in the right direction" is a perfectly reasonable response.

Or we can stop putting everything on the internet as a vector for enforced enshittification.

> no WordPress code was used to create EmDash.

Oh, neat. Which model wasn't trained on WordPress?

I can run it through voice recognition just fine.

If they're taking on verification, are they also taking on liability? Do we get to sue them if grandma gets scammed through an app they allow onto their phone?

Yes. But if it's good enough for an LLM it's good enough for me.

If you really feel the need, you can attach the LLM output as an appendix. I probably won't read it.

If you drop the premise of writing, drop the premise that you need something well written. Just give me the same information you would have given the LLM.

Basically, the selling point of LLMs is that you no longer need to think about problems, you can skip directly to results. Anything that you have to think about while using them today is somewhere on the product roadmap, or will be.

Many people think this is a form of utopia.

My website serving git that only works from Plan 9 is serving about a terabyte of web traffic monthly. Each page load is about 10 to 30 kilobytes. Do you think there's enough organic, non-scraper interest in the site that scrapers are a near-zero part of the cost?

I say that like it's a thing. LLMs have the goal of replacing intellectual work with passive consumption. People seem to like that.

> We aren't losing code; we are making the ability to code a universal human "literacy."

The same way that doordash makes kitchen skills universal.

Why aren't they delivering 4x more work? Does the world no longer need software?

Who is going to push a counteroffensive, banning specific types of data from being collected?

> But they still have downtime

Thank God GitHub is... oh.

Yes, I think consuming too much media, and creating too little is bad for the brain.

"Pass me your phone, I want to screenshot a few things and post on social media".

A personal assistant is responsible for their own gross negligence and malicious actions. I can take them to court to attempt to recover damages.

When Anthropic is willing enough to stand behind their agents strongly enough to accept liability for their actions, we can talk.

They can show their ID to the delivery person, or the kids will have to learn how to drink it over the internet.

Yes, I think one ID, presented only as necessary for those interactions, is enough for them to do their job.

It would be good to clamp down on private companies collecting that data.

> Some entity has to be trusted with our data anyway

Why?

'Nobody is allowed to do it' remains a valid option.

I suggest you stop paying Anthropic, and see how much code gets written. You're absolutely paying someone else to do it for you.

Assuming AI lives up to the marketing: Why would someone use an app instead of promoting their agent to figure out how to get something done?

Doordash has also enabled home cooks; they no longer have to worry about smashing together ingredients by hand to make dinner. They just prompt the app to make them the food they want.

Doordash is the future of home cooking.

They fight each other by stomping on users.
