I'm sad I missed the "can you remotely log into our tablets, and figure out why I have two copies of Outlook running at the same time" bit; I'm also glad I missed it, because I would have literally died on the spot

I'm leaving the Artemis 2 comms channel in the background while I work, like the nerdiest coffee shop chatter, and I caught the most beautiful exchange regarding the fact that the mic packs have minimal front/back differences, and capcom was making it clear that the astronauts have to talk into the black nub at one end, because that is the microphone

the Claude Code leak demonstrates that we are actually living in the Warhammer 40k universe and that software developers are Adeptus Mechanicus tech-priests praying to the Machine God

Yes, I do have an alert on who takes my name in vain on the Internet… I take the second commandment very seriously, of course

"Why am I getting notifications on my name from slop news websites?"

Oh, there's a new Ubuntu LTS coming out, and folks found out that the unmaintained Google Drive integration that has been on the chopping block for four years has finally been turned off downstream as well, and I was the poor soul that said it last on Discourse.

Just another normal day in GNOME land.

People keep assuring me that LLMs writing code is a revolution, that as long as we maintain sound engineering practices and tight code review they're actually extruding code fit for purpose in a fraction of the time it would take a human.

And every damned time, every damned time any of that code surfaces, like Anthropic's flagship offering just did, somehow it's exactly the pile of steaming technical debt and fifteen year old Stack Overflow snippets we were assured your careful oversight made sure it isn't.

Can someone please explain this to me? Is everyone but you simply prompting it wrong?

It's a good thing programmers aren't susceptible to hubris in any way, or this would have been so much worse.

This code is so fucking funny dude I swear to god. I have wanted to read the internal prompts for so long and I am laughing so hard at how much of them are like "don't break the law, please do not break the law, please please please be good!!!!" Very Serious Ethical Alignment Technology

Claude code source "leaks" in a mapfile
people immediately use the code laundering machines to code launder the code laundering frontend
now many dubious open source-ish knockoffs in python and rust being derived directly from the source

What's anthropic going to do, sue them? Insist in court that LLM recreating copyrighted code is a violation of copyright???
