Slop coded fediverse servers are multiplying I guess we need to start tracking this somewhere!? What happens when there are more AI generated server frameworks then human written ones? The do-ocracy of implementation first protocol inconsistency sorta wins right now but that brakes down when there are more bots making the call then humans

@liaizon i think this just tests the protocol and what people want to do with it to the limits, we're seeing vibe coded AT Protocol PDSes too!

Definitely highlights rough or under defined parts of specs & tests interoperability.

@thisismissem I generally find it interesting. Seeing that the people making these really have almost no idea of how federation works and are able to get posts federating using entirely prompt engineering is pretty incredible. But I have been noticing the people behind these projects have mostly been very quiet about the fact that they are not doing any of the coding themselves. And when people ask them how things work there's this awkward pause

@liaizon yeah, that's a bit of a trend with AI usage being something of a dirty secret. I'm ambivalent on it's usage, but personally don't use it for coding at present (sometimes I have to interact with it through github or Xcode though πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ)

Personally it's the token cost and the fact I deeply enjoy understanding code as to why I don't use it.

@thisismissem I have tried some things and been impressed how far I have gotten but not had the courage to publicize any of the things I have done yet. I am not a programmer at all, have made websites my whole life and am fine reading some code to figure out whats going on but actually writing the logic I am pretty unable. The ethical issues of being constrained to using tools made by these horrible corporations is where I am mostly stuck on. I hope we see some real floss LLMs competing on code
@liaizon there are some good FLOSS LLMs like Haidra: https://haidra.net
Haidra

Haidra is the non-profit community organization behind the revolutionary AI Horde project.

@thisismissem this is just for image gen tho not code I thought
