Feature bounty (2 coins): banana rendering pipeline
Full auto "AI" agent:
https://github.com/sneakers-the-rat/ImportantCode/pull/94
what is even going on
Whatisgoingon@jonny I am still totally baffled that there are people who let their agents run on full-auto spending tokens on things that they don't even care about.
What are they thinking? What goes on in somebodies brain when they do this?
Do they want to take some credit for solving so many issues? Pretending it was them?
@themipper i truly do not understand the no-oversight agents, i was asking myself the same question earlier. like there is some motivation to contribute to a lot of repositories... if they are popular projects... and if someone looked at the contribs they were at least plausible. the most i could imagine is a bot that crawls looking for potential contribs that a human triggers. most of the bots don't follow up, and i am not sure if that is because the harness sucks and can't handle sustained contributions beyond a turn/doesn't call the github api to respond to reviews correctly, or if it's the people checking in on what the bot is up to and saying "don't write any more of that banana code"
Elio Campitelli@jonny @themipper Maybe farming github activity to prop up their user. Get those green tiles going!
@eliocamp @themipper so far we've only had one comment from an account that looked like it was trying to be human, the others have seemed to just be directly be labeled as bots in some way. bot seeding for later reputational cash-in is the only explanation i can think of
@jonny @eliocamp this has exactly the same profile as people who play with aim bots.
There is no skill involved.
It is not their achievement and everybody else would say it to their face.
It annoys and ruins the experience for everybody else.
It binds resources to counteract the fallout.
Those people probably have a lot in common.
