  • There should be a button to ban anyone that submits any changes using AI from your projects.

    I do not at all disagree.

    From a technical reason standpoint:

    AI/LLMs/ML/Expert System Output, they all require proficiency and understanding by the operating user to actually live up to any potential, debatable or objective.

    From a data rights/licensing/sovereignty/FuckTheCorporations Standpoint:

    Fuck 'em. Anything that Claude Code/Codex or any other corporate backed proprietary model/inference pipeline produce is sin tainted, and feeds the beast. Ban on principle.

    From a social perspective:

    The linked article says it all better than I could.

    This is all said, as someone who does use open source and privately developed both versions of LLM, ML, and Expert System backed/using/supporting systems.

    I’ve scraped zero places I had no right to, and asked permission in several I had licensing rights to, but morality compelled me to not be a shit head human who doesn’t understand the idea of consent regardless.

    I’ve provided zero AI driven PRs to anyone, and even though my ass was fired not even a month ago and thrown into the blender of the current US labor environment, my repos are still private, I haven’t tried to sell anyone any bullshit SaaS ideas, and I haven’t tried to have a soulless automaton go roam the Internet for me and insert itself anywhere for the clout that may help get me hired.

    It is not that hard to not be a shithead with the technologies, even if that’s what the techbros are marketing it under, and anyone who can’t not be one with them, doesn’t deserve to be welcomed into projects they would need to put some heart into understanding before the idea of automating any portion of them should even be considered.

    Slopcoders would never be able to strip the included AI tool identifiers so it would likely be one of the most accurate automated ban tools ever made.

    This is only true of the sort of caliber of mind who thinks clicking ‘pay subscription’ on a tool that parrots the stolen knowledge they wish they had with a fraction of its functional spirit because the mind attempting it cannot direct nor supervise what it cannot understand, equates to having said knowledge at all.

    This is admittedly the grand majority of those causing the problems described in the article, but is by no means everyone.

    That is not a humble brag of any kind, I really wish more people understood the danger of bad actors being the only ones proficient in the use of “AI tools”.

    They are gleefully camouflaged right now, right under the idiots and the hate.

    Many of those PRs aren’t clout seeking, they’re sabotage, and some of them are sneaking right by without said AI identifiers in a multitude of critical FOSS projects, because of how easy it is to tell bad AI from human authorship and how hard actual enhanced human authorship is to detect.

    Cory’s reverse centaurs don’t all ride for the same side, and this battlefield will need more focus than just stopping Chad from using his credit card to make his LinkedIn and GitHub look good.


  • This whole thing seems like an effort to see who is most needing to be killed first since they’d likely fight back.

    They know who that is, roughly speaking. The ID isn’t the issue. They’ve moved fast in many respects.

    But they’re chicken shit, and the hobnobbed fascist boots of their grandfather’s too big for the whining children.

    That should be evident by the lengths ICE goes to target the least likely to be able to defend themselves and always travel in terrified cliques instead of operationally controlled groups.

    And don’t even get me started on the pig farms. Overwhelming strength of materiel is not overwhelming strength of will. Killology doesn’t make warriors, it makes twitchy cowards.


  • That is why demonizing autistic folks is important to him.

    They don’t focus so much on the neurodivergent because of the extreme cases such as complete non-verbal ASD presentation or ADHD so severe the patient needs to be a ward of the state.

    Those cases are about as numerous as there are trans people in our society; single digit percentages.

    They focus so much on the demonization of the neurodivergent because the grand majority are entirely functional (at the cost of much chafing) within the bullshit societal paradigms as they currently stand…

    But wouldn’t be, under the societal paradigms they want, and the functionally neurodivergent are, by definition, somewhat harder to model than a statistically average neurotypical presentation.

    They fear the ungovernable.




  • Functional and hypothetical only example usage of a curated digital footprint, for story purposes:

    You keep, use, maintain, and preferably daily drive technology interfacing gizmos in a manner that results in a footprint where the conclusions drawn from it resolve to a “curated” set of… whatever the beholder is looking to ID from the footprint.

    Functional example:

    You keep and use devices in a manner that is at most “normie+”.

    You own a Pixel Phone but keep stock android on it and add just enough to it not make you hate your life. You use a couple of normal sub services.

    You still show some of your silly, like use an account on a porn website that federates with the world you care to socialize with. You still post how The Man better watch out.

    Same as everyone else. The fingerprint looks like what you want it to look like.

    So that it remains separate from what could happen/be happening elsewhere inside a Faraday cage with other devices there. How they are configured like, or who they talk to, the networks you utilize and the level of silly you display in your other accounts that have never so much as shared a trace route in passing together.

    That’s hypothetically separate from the curated digital identity, depending on how careful and good at it your set up was.

    So when the friendly folks with the mass surveillance pull up your file, it’s composed of what you wanted there to begin with.

    It’s just another implementation layer of minimizing and compartmentalization, really.

    Hypothetically. For a friend.


  • It squares away in the UCMJ. Generic ‘You’ used throughout, below this point:

    You are supposed to have the balls/constitution/wherewithal/spine to disobey an order you believe or know to be illegal, despite the harsh automatic penalties that will presume you guilty until innocent for doing so, as you accept those possible consequences as readily as you accept taking an artillery shell for your country.

    You are to hold this inhuman (as in, literally against psychological norm) stance deeper than the other stances programmed (with full use of psychological norms) into you in the course of being shaped for military services during training.

    Because you are a warrior and are expected to hold yourself to standards far above and beyond those of the common population that you are (on paper, says every military of everywhere really) sacrificing your service for, so they don’t have to.

    Does it work?

    Eh. Maybe if a standing military was full of the mythical Warrior Poets envisioned by the glories in the marching songs.

    They pretty much universally never are, and usually never were except for brief periods fostered by singular individuals as driving forces.

    And thus, here we are.

    Given what Kegsbreath has been doing to reshape the US military under his toddler level understanding of what a “warrior” is, I wouldn’t expect much of the requisite spine to still be enlisted for service for long.

    They exist still, and hopefully the ones that are already out, the ones still in, and their neighbors are doing some common sense mathematics, but that is simply not something that can be expected and accounted for, and historically when things get to that point, it’s a bad time for everyone regardless.



  • She is 100% a foreign asset, heavily influencing the hegemon (can’t claim control over dementia though, and that’s all the schadenfreude we truly get).

    Enabled by the simple act of being (insultingly) obviously molded for the role.

    Which is leading the figurehead by the “little mushroom”, via superlatively praise ridden word and action.

    And you know damn well that the coming of age thing means they roleplay some morally questionable shit during the theater rendition of the Aristocrats.

    That’s why you included it on your list, so now you gotta think about it again for making me picture it.

    You know how a narcissist parent expects their kids to thank them for everything, even them accomplishing basic milestones of growing up?

    Yeah 🤢.




  • Edgarianny and Freddys said that they followed the proper instructions and were told they were approved for self-deportation by the government. “On July 6, we went to our ICE check-in appointment as instructed,” the letter said. “We believed we were going there to finalize our travel home. Instead, after we signed all the forms waiving all our rights, we were arrested. “We were immediately taken into custody and transferred to Dilley. Since then, we have done everything we can to make clear that we want to return home. We withdrew our immigration appeal, waived our rights, and asked to return voluntarily. We were even told that we had been placed on a list for a flight home. Then we were taken off the list.”

    I used to think the right choice for “justice” for the…perpetrators behind this, was an expeditious trial. With an equally expeditious carrying out of sentencing.

    I think I was wrong.

    If and when, if and when. Care should be taken to ensure they all get promises of leniency, good treatment, and safety. That the signing of their plea deals will make their life uncertain, but otherwise okay, just be patient. Then a good and torturous shuffling through the same facilities they used and then without warning, the wall out back.

    Yeah.


  • Being utterly unfamiliar with this case up until my rushed reading of 10 mins ago, and operating under the assumption that everything you’ve said is 100% factual reporting:

    Holy. Fucking. Shit.

    What!? That isn’t smoke pointing to a fire, it’s a goddamn molten slag cast in the shape of a man gleefully setting fire to a previous life as he dances over to a new fire pit.

    That shit is too on the nose that I fully expect the true crime drama episode in 10 years about husband’s exploits to come with a warning about the gullibility of the system and technology.

    Just enough digital trail to “absolve” him, conveniently, but only if you pick and choose where and when to accept the trail is on his side?

    This is absolutely looking like the classic “sociopathic piece of skin husband has idealized mental picture of life shattered by difficult reality and decides to dispense with his ‘property’ before moving on” murder pattern.



  • It applies to every interaction between two or more human beings.

    This is precisely why in the anarchist world, the emphasis on positions of responsibility (as opposed to positions of power within a standard hierarchy) are so goddamn important and the one of the most misunderstood tenets.

    You cannot perform long term planning without a long term view, and you cannot achieve a long term view, without looking from the needed vantage point for a long time.


  • They, could do all of those things, in theory.

    In the fantasy land where they’re as capable as their fascist tools, and the tools themselves are as good as they advertise.

    There are already dozens to hundreds of people getting away with the destruction of Flock cameras. They literally ask for public tips to solve them.

    Have you read the research on the actual impact of all this bullshit on crime rate solving?

    The panopticon is not finished.

    Until it is, large swaths of your comment might as well be fiction, because until it’s trivial to “justify as much resources to hunt them down as what Luigi did” for the average use, they literally can barely find their ass with them.
