You’re being sarcastic but surely you know that really is the presumed eventuality for a lot of people who have fallen for the hype. “AI will become smarter than humans and so will be able to create better AI.” So if you believe that, we’re currently still bootstrapping the AI, but it will eventually be able to create the next iteration of AI without needing us.
I don’t believe that of course.
Now, hold on a minute. I get what you’re doing and I like it, but I don’t think those first 2 examples work.
Visual programming is programming. Were they really ever touted as not requiring programmers? I would think it’s just marketed as more intuitive and easier to use for certain applications, but users are still referred to as programmers. Let me know if I’m wrong. Side note: my first programming language was LabVIEW, a visual programming language, which I used in high school to program our robot for FRC. It is, for all intents and purposes, a fully-fledged programming language and requires a programmer to create code for it.
MDA, honestly I don’t know much about it, but from the description in the image it sounds like it still requires someone to “write a universal model”… did they try to claim that that someone would not be a programmer?

Yeah…
I wouldn’t say this is “what GitHub has become” per se, only a handful of unlucky projects need to deal with PR/issue spam. What @Zangoose@lemmy.world said is right, the Linux PR spam is largely inconsequential because GitHub PRs (or issues) were never accepted in the first place.
But then there Express.js, which receives loads of useless PRs because some terrible YouTube tutorials show kids how to make baby’s first GitHub pull request: https://github.com/expressjs/express/pulls?page=1&q=is%3Apr+is%3Aclosed+Readme.md So in a way this is what GitHub has become. This and the inescapable AI crap.
No.
A joke like this is funny once. The screenshot in the OP can be reshared endlessly (whether it’s real or not), and anyone trying to make another iteration of this joke is just spamming the project with useless noise. It makes work for maintainers.
Fortunately it seems like this hasn’t been a problem in this particular repository, unlike the Linux repository which received endless spam before GH gave them the tools to block it. But if this becomes a trend, Arch might need to deal with dozens of joke issues per week, and there’s just nothing funny about that.
Edit: just confirmed that the OP screenshot is fake, which is good. (Issue #4269 doesn’t exist yet and the number itself is two memes.)
Thanks.
What I still didn’t figure out about the comment I replied to is:
- What is each row? They’re labeled I, II, III, IV. What’s being counted?
- Why did they link to a home interior design website under “via”?
… what
The last one, Kimi K2, has been consistently good as long as I’ve been looking at it. That’s pretty impressive.
The rest are hilarious!
Thank you, I have now been unwooshed
I use both btw
Woah. Sir, this is trademark infringement. You’re only allowed to use that phrase with Arch.
Yup, Cinnamon is slow on Wayland support, but they’re getting there. Eventually.
Police, this guy right here.



I think you misread a word there
