"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I wonder how long models will stay stable if the code they're trained on becomes increasingly ai generated
I have tried installing and running a huge variety of games, using Lutris, over the years. Multiple distros too.
None of them have ever worked. Not a single one.
Turns out GloriousEggroll who is best known for Nobara and GE-Proton is defending this shit as well.
Come on, is there anything that's safe?!
This kind of thinking is what makes billionaires who back AI companies to keep increasing their investments in AI Capex, while leaving others with nothing but increasingly expensive parts and damaged environments.
oh yes. i caught their comment on github about this already.
if i had the time i'd fork this and block AI contributions outright. slop certainly doesn't belong in something that allows us linux users to play something that's windows exclusive, cause lord knows what it'll break.
It's really hard to argue against that final paragraph though for real. These are free time projects that people spend time on for the benefit of others. I dunno. Food for thought?
Actually you can refute that argument since the main dev defends Anthropic as a good guy compared to other AI companies. As we know Claude being used by Pentagon in the war with Iran. But shouldn't use that, it will drag into unnecessary argument war, since they have set in mind to use AI generated-code.
And that leaves us with no choice but to use alternatives, as they have removed AI co-authorship.

"We live in a capitalist hellscape so why bother to struggle against it" isn't a completely unreasonable take. Too bad, though.
Can't win a fight if you don't fight.
Also standing together is the only way to win such a fight as one against the hellscape we're facing.
Fork it and maintain it yourself then. That's the beauty of FOSS. I would argue if more people learned to code everytime someone complained about AI use by FOSS project maintainers and contributed (code, bug reports, q&a, community engagement) to the projects they care about, maybe less maintainers will be looking to use LLMs.

My regret is I have but one upvote to give.
I always found Lutris to be troublesome at best. Always had better luck with Bottles.
From reading the posted threads the Lutris devs have even bigger red flags, the AI usage seems like just another symptom of their total disdain for the users of their program.
It’s just painful to use. Why are commonly used Wine/Proton features like DLL overrides so unnecessarily poorly done in the UI? I may as well write the command line switches myself.
For real, strycore's responses to github issues seem to mostly be laughing at the posters, calling them idiots, and at best eventually giving in and fixing an issue after another maintainer acknowledges a bug as valid. Glad I only use Lutris for Battle.net, and definitely looking for alternatives.

Can a motherfucker get a break, PLEASE.
I use Lutris for games that don't work in Steam/Proton, usually an older game like Black and White 2 or the old Sims 2 game (before the updated version came out). Why is everything I like turning to shit! :(
Hell, it’s not even everything I like is turning to shit. Things I already hate are getting worse as well. It’s fucking everything. Either AI or ads. Shareholders above all.
Try Heroic or Bottles. I am personally a fan of Bottles.

Can it even still call itself open source when it is entirely unclear where the AI they used took the code from, and under what license it was published?
What even does using AI regurgitated code do to the license of a software product? Because basically what they are doing is exactly the same as going through shit tons of comments on stackoverflow and copying them verbatim into the code base. Without attribution or regard to licensing.
What shit.
Supreme Court recently declined to take a major copyright case involving AI, which meant the previous court's ruling still stands - ai generated content can't be copyrighted. Tho I haven't looked at the details, so I'm not sure if that applies to code or not.
It will not surprize me if everyone currently depending on these systems is going to be in for a very rude awakening.
That's funny, not long ago people were giving me shit for saying Lutris is a confusing, unintuitive mess.
Well I guess now we know why.
No, it was a confusing intuitive mess with tons of broken toggles for legacy cruft long, long before AI code was a thing.

Unfortunately, it is the only way my SO got paint tool SAI 2 with pen pressure working under Linux..
Well that certainly is an edge case scenario.
I would hazard a guess that it ... should be possible to get it working through another way of setting up WINE/Proton, if you can get all the dependencies and specifics figured out... maybe via Bottles?
But, figuring all that out would be a hassle, and may just end up not working.
I mean, if it works, it works.
The closest thing to that that I can say is that via RetroDeck on Bazzite, on a Steam Deck, I literally accidentally discovered that the touch screen controls for that worked just fine, without me doing anything beyond normal RetroDeck setup.
Just got annoyed, assuming that I couldn't use a DS/3DS second screen as a touch screen, 'Boy I sure with is could just-' .. and then I poked it, and then it worked.
But thats probably a different ballpark than getting an windows program to play nice with a linux touch/pad/stylus.

You know what's great about open source software?
You can fork it and turn it into your own project. With black jack and hookers.

The snipe from the dev about removing the co-authorship is particularly shitty.
Devs of open source software need the thick skin to be able to say "This is how I'm going to handle things as long as I'm the lead, you don't have to like it." but this goes beyond it into an active "fuck you" to their users.
Edit: the second link has less charged discussion, but it's still getting wrapped up in "anthropic bad" stuff that's not actually related to code quality.
If the project is not the space for non-code quality concerns like Anthropic's business dealings, then it is also not the place for one of the devs to try their personal social project of "seeing if contributors can differentiate between AI assisted commits and not". Listing claude as a co-author where it was used serves a practical purpose of drawing extra eyes for review of relevant commits.
Listing claude as a co-author where it was used serves a practical purpose of drawing extra eyes for review of relevant commits.
This is the correct take and best course of action. What the dev did is not only shitty but also dumb.
