The fact that this phrase ever left the realm of 0.0.1a website with 3 devs is a travesty.

Hey, I’m in a small town and sometimes these help the brunch shift pay rent

I’m very happy that I’m lead/solo dev at my company because I get to just say no. If I don’t want to maintain it it doesn’t get done since everything I do is internal tooling.

Also means that our whole company runs on a Python codebase with a single dependency. It took me 3 years to finally get around to vendoring a fast graphing library in our codebase because I wanted everything to be ours. We’ve had 3 other devs come through and only one of them has actually been able to produce something that got merged in.

Maybe I’m just an insane person, but when all of production relies on our code, I want to know exactly how it works and where everything is.

All of those are basically “we want you be able to try and trick you with a well ackshually and settle” documents. Nothing that would hold up in court

The Linux kernel gets a ton of PRs constantly. My big issue with LLM code is that it is really good at appearing to be thought out, but actually reverse engineering it can reveal major mistakes.

A good reviewer should still catch them, but it takes longer since the “code smell” is different. Humans will usually make consistent simple mistakes while LLMs will sometimes use advanced patterns to make the same mistake.

The fact that these take longer to review, are usually much longer in general, and are appearing at an incredible pace (1hr to generate, 1 day to review) creates a backlog that becomes unbearable to review.

A lot of open source projects have banned them for this reason, but the ones that do allow them tend to use LLM reviewers to help clear the backlog which is a whole different ouroboros of an issue.

Lol, it was a dark mode snafu

Not if they just have the device open a socket to the client. At that point you’re just being used as a proxy. Your device just acts as the middle man.

I kinda figured that, crazy how it was almost directly inverted

Turkey being almost fully unfavorable, but only somewhat instead of very is interesting lol

My source:

Well, I’m still glad it made me hack mine lol

Weren’t they also offering a proxy service for webscrapers or was that something else?

We’ll that’s a relief, I’m still paranoid about IOT after the whole LG smart TV thing…

They don’t care about compression or bandwidth when it’s you paying for it.

There’s also probably next to no storage on device, so it’s just constantly fetching and uploading, or just acting as a proxy.

It’s going to a website, scraping the data, then uploading it to client endpoints. This is a whole market now since it’s really difficult for AI companies to run their own scrapers.

Using IOT devices means YOU get to shoulder the power and bandwidth cost, and since you’re coming from an actual IP address, you’re less likely to get blocked.

It’s not a Keurig at that point, it’s just a low power computer with curl installed that can download data from the web.

Edit: it’s been confirmed to be a software bug and not this nefarious alternative. See @KobaCumTribute@hexbear.net’s reply for more info.

Botnet. They’re using your home devices to do scraping for AI then uploading the data.

That’s probably 10GB of data being uploaded to 100 different clients separately so they don’t have to worry about storing it. Amazing.

LK kinda got there, but they stuck to the big battles better.

There’s a few where they dogpile, but those are meant to show how disorganized the conscripted soldiers were since they just get immediately wrecked by the other guys using actual formation.

Those two are both good in general for fun medium/large budget battle sequences though.
