I think the way Jane Austen is subversive it lost on modern audiences, because it requires cultural context which doesn’t exist. It’s actually dry as fuck. Like not as in a “well you just don’t get it” sort of way, but the narrative is actually just super fucking basic without the companion commentary explaining the historical context. Nobody in the modern era who picks up the books appreciates this without that background education, and a huge number of fans like them unironically as romantic period dramas.

Yeah I think those workflows will adapt eventually, with more maintainers and some kind of more formal trust or reputation process to help sort things. It sucks but figuring out how to deal with it is really the only path forward. Otherwise all the cognitive load goes to arguing about AI.
I also think the worst offenders will get bored once the novelty wears off, and if the standards are kept high enough that getting a PR through still requires some amount of human work.

Realistically, this is as much about not wanting to police constant AI drama as it is about AI coding utility. Like it or not that cat is out of the bag, but as long as you enforce the same development guidelines in terms of code quality, PR rules and such, the impact should be small. Arguably the bigger issue would come with taking a hardline approach where you inevitably spend a bunch of time arguing over AI accusations. We are already quickly approaching a point where it feels half the Internet is AI, and the other half is arguing about whether something is or isn’t AI. That’s just not going to work for FOSS development.

Technically (allegedly) Jordan Peterson died by being put into a coma for benzo detox in a black market Russian rehab clinic. Unfortunately they were able to revive him.
- Comment on [Rant] It's frustrating when models are ONLY priced with vendors in mind 1 month ago:
To me it just comes off as someone saying “that’s cool, but what’s the point if you aren’t making money? Seems like a waste of time.” It’s just very dismissive.
Like, if you grow tomatoes, nobody goes “damn you could sell these.” Because everyone understands that having a backyard garden is a hobby, with the benefit that you get some decent tomatoes, though at fairly high cost compared to just about any other source of tomatoes.

Revelations was a controversial addition to biblical canon specifically because it would intentionally adds undeclared allegory to what was otherwise meant to be philosophy from literal history. Other places in the Bible where allegory is used, it is clearly frame as such. Revelations instead presents allegory as prophecy, which some argue contradicts the entire new testament. The new testament can actually be read as a desire to remove the influence of prophecy from Abrahamic religion, as it was widely seen as a distraction, and source of conflict. The Epistles spend a lot of time on the exact subject, making it clear that theological duty is an earthy duty, not a quest to fulfill prophecy or a sprint to salvation. But then they go and throw in a “prophecy” (which is really a cautionary tale against false prophets) right ant the end which seems to undo all of that.

Pluto is not sentient. It cares not for the judgement of men.
