I feel that people's reaching for copyright is just a misguided,
improperly articulated frustrations that they have. And copyright used
to be a hammer.
People may wipe asses of their own babies. And even here magical diapers
is a big-cash industry.
But cleaning slop after machine? Noone likes it. These PR's feel like FU
in 19K LoC.
If a parent of output would've done a review, then it could've been ok.
In fact initially quoted PR, it seems, was done by person that votes in
node foundation or something. He has no excuse to provide code that goes
off node's style. The most charitable assumption is that he is on
endogenic drugs, caused by Cool-Aid consumption.
It is the charitable interpretation of what I saw there. I am sure that
reviewer was the first human to look into lines, that hacker would look
for SQL-inlining-like places.
Have I mentioned that it is node.js?
Discussions are side tracked because of emotional shrapnel. Slop is
real, and parents should clean it, instead of passing smelly job to others.
AI usage conversation becomes simpler, when we start to talk about
responsibilities. And students can't be told that with AI one can shut
off ones brain. I see these commercials, and this marketing ...
misdirection, to put it mildly, should not be followed.
Parent of code is expected to have a mental model of it. ... Before we
create machines that actually have intelligence.
