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.

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.
This is the correct take and best course of action. What the dev did is not only shitty but also dumb.
I guess it prevents someone to fork the project and remove the slop.
Not entirely: you could revert it all the way back to before AI commits were possible, if you really wanted.
The way he worded it, it sounds like you just revert back to before the first "Claude co-authored" committ
Which he obfuscated by removing mentions in the commits. Stellar job, biggest Chad of the weak
Oh I thought he just removed it from future ones not past ones too
They did not edit past commits (that causes tons of problems). You can easily find the earliest commit that credits Anthropic. Example https://github.com/lutris/lutris/commit/6d5f18eb92e558ffda37781386812f1e9f1a2499
