refsys··on I'm helping my dog vibe code games
Cute, but clearly Godot is doing all of the heavy lifting here.

"It's possible to make shitty but playable games by running random scripts through a >2MLoC game engine and iterating on errors" is interesting but not nearly as sensationalist.

refsys··on Ladybird adopts Rust, with help from AI
Any terminal tool like Claude Code or Codex (I assume OpenCode too, but I haven't tried) can do it, by using as a prompt pretty much exactly what you wrote, and if it still wants to edit, just don't approve the tool calls.

One problem I've noticed is that both claude models and gpt-codex variants make absolutely deranged tool calls (like `cat <<'EOF' >> foo...EOF` pattern to create a file, or sed to read a couple lines), so it's sometimes hard to see what is it even trying to do.

refsys··on Pope tells priests to use their brains, not AI, to write homilies
Entirely random of course. I would never reference unsavory memes about past Popes or anything like that.
refsys··on Google restricting Google AI Pro/Ultra subscribers for using OpenClaw
Where does Anthropic offer an "unlimited" subscription? All of the plans mentioned on https://claude.com/pricing have limits, same as usage of Codex on OpenAI's ChatGPT subscription plans. If Google forgot to actually enforce a rate limit (that they do mention on https://antigravity.google/pricing) on theirs, that sounds like a huge oversight.

"We value your privacy! Do you consent to sharing the contents of your confession with our 2137 partners? [ACCEPT ALL] [MAYBE LATER]"
refsys··on NanoClaw moved from Apple Containers to Docker
or you pass by graffiti telling it to jump off a cliff, written in iambic pentameter (or whatever is the jailbreak meta of the month)
refsys··on An Unbothered Jimmy Wales Calls Grokipedia a 'Cartoon Imitation' of Wikipedia
They also have a report form for slop sites, but none of mine got reviewed yet (I have 5 reports since November, and the help still says "We will start processing reports officially in January.")
refsys··on What Every Experimenter Must Know About Randomization
Maybe people have bad memories from linear congruential generators, these could go really bad (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsaglia%27s_theorem)
