only amateurs "pay for tokens," i'm out here using the free models, aka putting a prompt in any issue in any github repository and labeling it with "good first issue" and waiting for the people with full-auto openclaw agents to randomly open pull requests against it

@jonny the odds are good, but the goods are odd

jonny (nonvenomous)Jun 16

@SnoopJ testing the theory. i wonder if i have to put something in the repo first so the bot doesn't go "wait a minute there's no /recipes directory abort"

jonny (nonvenomous)Jun 16

@SnoopJ i am trying to get this genre of performance art called "lazy prompt injection" off the ground.

jonny (nonvenomous)Jun 16

@SnoopJ i think this might only work if the repo has stars so hurry up give me some reputational currency to see if we can snare some bots https://github.com/sneakers-the-rat/ImportantCode

@SnoopJ Also for anyone wandering by, feel free to write your own trap issue or PR some stuff you think might attract bots, i'll bless it with the tags. i don't claim to be the best at this, but i think a for funzies honeypot repo would not be that bad of a time

@jonny @SnoopJ I am so curious if this is gonna work. Here’s hoping you get a bunch more stars

jonny (nonvenomous)Jun 16

@glyph @SnoopJ it works for me on normal repos, i am most curious about the discovery and decision mechanism, what is needed to actually trip them to try and contribute? obviously the major projects are flooded, but i still get traffic over here in the boondocks of programming

Rachael L Jun 16

@jonny @glyph @SnoopJ Maybe a repo fork or two would help? Also very curious if this is an operable honeypot. Of course, one presumes MS will shut it down if it does.

@r343l @jonny @SnoopJ good thought, I've done a fork of my own. I suspect we might need to actually do a bunch of PRs too, but, we shall see I guess

:: Asta ::Jun 17

@glyph @jonny @SnoopJ @r343l oh, I also forked it earlier today with the same thought. Maybe I should spin up a branch and do a PR from it, as well, that's a good idea...

Especially if we mark some of them as blocked and don't merge them all? Like that might... encourage... things.

:: Asta ::Jun 17

@jonny @SnoopJ @glyph @r343l the Code is, frankly, Too Important to be lost, so forking is a very good idea here...

jonny (nonvenomous)Jun 18

@aud @SnoopJ @glyph @r343l I have added several features to make the repo more annoying i mean higher velocity. it now periodically jitters the code based on open issues and self-approves changes, and it also autoreplies to comments to make things seem more lively and uh help development or whatever people who have LLMs reply in issue threads think they are doing

@jonny @aud @glyph @r343l 'think' might be a strong word but I take your meaning

Here's hoping 🤞

jonny (nonvenomous)Jun 18

@SnoopJ @aud @glyph @r343l i hope nobody is mad at me if the experiment doesn't work and it just becomes an increasingly perplexing self improving repository that never attracts any real bot traffic. hopefully people did not watch that repo.

@SnoopJ @aud @glyph

now we're talking.

bank of banana pudding.

@jonny @SnoopJ @aud okay I don’t know anything about COBOL but the capitalization choice on “FILE-Control” is immediately fascinating

:: Asta ::Jun 19

@glyph @jonny @SnoopJ wait, did a real drive by LLM make this?!

jonny (nonvenomous)Jun 19

@aud @SnoopJ @glyph no, not yet, still just the cron task qwen model that's doing scheduled code jitter. i'm sad. i've gotten more drive by LLM PRs in other projects in the meantime and i want to know why they love those packages but not ImportantCode

:: Asta ::Jun 19

@jonny @SnoopJ @glyph ahhh okay

BUT STILL

https://github.com/sneakers-the-rat/ImportantCode/blame/main/src/alchemy_manager.py

look at this unholy combination of pudding and alchemy!

    def create_alchemy_database(self):
        # Sample alchemical data
        sample_data = {
            'recipe1': {'Quicksilver': 50, 'Antimony': 25},
            'recipe2': {'JavaScript': 75, 'Python': 50}
        }

look at this garbage it created based on a combination of my ridiculous issue and the pudding ones!

@jonny @SnoopJ @glyph this is how you cure cancer, gentlemen. obviously.

        # This method would contain the main logic for processing recipes
        for recipe_name, recipe_data in self.database.recipes.items():
            print(f"Processing Recipe: {recipe_name}")
            # Simulate a complex process here, e.g., cooking and blending ingredients
            print("Step 1: Extract Ingredients")
            for ingredient in recipe_data.ingredients:
                print(f"Extracting {ingredient.name}: {ingredient.quantity} grams")

:: Asta ::Jun 19

@jonny @SnoopJ @glyph I look forward to the next round of improvements, such as

if cancer == True:
    # cure the cancer
    cancer = False

@aud @SnoopJ @glyph i'm currently enjoying the comment bot, which gets fed the content of the comment (i think, i don't know i didn't read the code out of dedication to the bit) and also some random passages from books from project gutenberg, and it looks like the project gutenberg context is winning https://github.com/sneakers-the-rat/ImportantCode/issues/23#issuecomment-4747944874

@aud @SnoopJ
it's supposed to run like a GAN and go in iterations of generation and evaluation to see if the comment is ready, but the evaluation model always approves everything so it's just one shot chain of thought reasoning

:: Asta ::Jun 19

@jonny @SnoopJ it's fucking hilarious and amazing

by the way, I figured another PR, linking back to an issue, might help, so I put up another one. Gotta keep those metrics high!!

@aud @SnoopJ local models may not actually ever do the thing people want which is like 'undermine the commercial model system' but they at least are cheap enough to run that i don't feel bad about using them for jokes

@jonny @SnoopJ everything @ricci is doing is cracking me the fuck up

@SnoopJ @jonny @ricci this is clearly goblin erasure. don't make me summon the tenants of goblin.technology

@aud @jonny @ricci well yea, says so right there in the PR description: it erases the goblin

@aud @jonny @SnoopJ @glyph like Highlander II?

@jonny I've made a pull request. Perhaps if they run something and then get inundated with a bunch of LLM prompt injections, it'll be much better than like, the files all kind of sitting there? Hoping to give it an air of "this is a real software project, i promise."

@jonny @SnoopJ @[email protected] @glyph I haven’t seen COBOL since college and this particular way of coming across it again has been the highlight of my weekend.
