  • I love Lutris, but man he really screwed himself with his immature approach to this.

    I was also suspicious that those Claude co-authorship would raise some issues in the open source community

    So he knew it would cause a fuss when it came to light he was using AI, so what does he do?

    I configured Claude code to skip the co-authorship line in git commits.

    Rather than be fully transparent upfront he hides it. And his response when called out on it was doubly childish.

    A lot of people didn’t like how I initially worded my response, something like “good luck figuring out what committed by me or by Claude now that the co-authorship is gone”.

    His justifications for the use of it are irrelevant.

    I still considered the Claude generated code as something I could have written, just slower.

    I also like using Claude to commit code I’ve written myself because it just writes good commit messages…

    And his reasoning for why he thinks people are upset at his use of AI shows he doesn’t understand the issue.

    I think a lot of the critics think that AI generated code should be flawless.

    This doesn’t invalidate the technology as a whole…

    Ignoring the many issues with AI that do invalidate it one of which is its inherently anti-FOSS which I guess he doesn’t seem to mind except under the terms that he might be sued for copying someone’s code.

    Also, there is enough open source code available that I would hope Anthropic doesn’t feel the need to train their models on potentially litigious code base.

    Lmao. Sure.

    In is original comments on Github he shifts the blame to overall capitalism but doesn’t see how continuing to pay into AI and further normalize its use as problematic.

    So he doesn’t seem to get it I guess.

    The rest of the interview is mostly just pro-AI.









  • I dealt with this shit years ago with LA Fitness as well. I wanted to try it, and they said “oh yeah you can sign up and try it out for x days and if you don’t like it, it’s free to cancel” so I said sure. Well I decided to cancel half way through and the sales guy first hit me with the “but I’ll lose the commission and I already spent it” crap, then said they’d cancel it, didn’t, went in to try and cancel, they said “oh you gotta mail a thing in to cancel” by which time there wasn’t enough time for it to get there. So I cancelled my credit card and said 🖕. Got some calls at first about it, then I guess they sold it to a debt collection agency that tried to offer me a lower fee option to recoup their losses but I just ignored their calls after the first one till they stopped. Never did see it hit my credit surprisingly.
