computer fuckers really will swoon about the nuanced position taken by the author of a blog post that declares that all of the PhDs who disagree with them are wrong and LLMs work exactly like human brains because they said so and also help help they’re the victim of an online hate mob because they did something fucked up and someone else noticed
maybe keep the word nuance out of your fucking mouth if your version of nuance is indistinguishable from being a contrarian asshole
within the past 24 hours I’ve watched two people claim there was nuance to the rsync story that made tridge right, and after not too much discussion they admitted they didn’t know rsync’s slop code only got noticed after a severe breakage occurred, or that people have evaluated the slop commits and found them to be of extraordinarily poor quality (including rendering rsync’s test suite ineffective by translating it from bash into broken python). the story they heard is that someone saw Claude in the commit log and freaked out and directed harassment towards tridge. they seemed to be under the false impression that rsync still worked fine.
how is it that the members of the supposed angry mob are doing deeper analysis than the people claiming nuance?
@zzt
It's "nuance" because some tech bro white man wrote it. It's the reason we're in this shit now with a lot of projects.
We've made sure to ostracize any diversity in this field and now the chickens are coming home to roost.
@passenger @zm @zzt is there a "vice signalling" equivalent to the euphemism treadmill? where a word that is intended as a euphemism or technical term is used derogatorily for long enough that it stops being used except by scumbags
