I am trying - honestly - to wrap my head around it ...
Who knows. Might be some sort of "distributed attack" against Open Source by some nefarious actor?
I am still thinking about the "XZ Utils" fiasco. (Not implying they are related, anyhow).-
- llamaimperative 2y agoHave you been on the internet? There are plenty of just plain moronic people out there to produce (with the help of LLMs) ample bullshit to be able to clog approximately any quasi-public information channel. Such results used to require sophistication and funding, but that is no longer true
- Bluestein 2y agoAwful. See comment about "morons" upthread ...
- anon373839 2y agoI’d like to inject a personal gripe here, namely: the people who take the time to answer questions on Amazon with “I don’t know.” Why.
- Bluestein 2y ago"Elroy was here"
- stonogo 2y agoBecause Amazon sent them am email. When questions go unanswered, Amazon emails some of the prior purchasers asking them the question. These emails are constructed to look like they are personally being asked for help. So, why? Courtesy, believe it or not. Blame Amazon.
- anon373839 2y agoOh, that makes total sense.
- eddsolves 2y agoNa, it’s not intentionally malicious - people are just trying to pad their resumes for new roles while unemployed or as students. I did the same (not with AI, but picking up the low hanging easy tasks to add a few lines to my CV years ago).
