1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

A user asked on the official Lutris GitHub two weeks ago "is lutris slop now" and noted an increasing amount of "LLM generated commits". To which the Lutris creator replied:

It's only slop if you don't know what you're doing and/or are using low quality tools. But I have over 30 years of programming experience and use the best tool currently available. It was tremendously helpful in helping me catch up with everything I wasn't able to do last year because of health issues / depression.

There are massive issues with AI tech, but those are caused by our current capitalist culture, not the tools themselves. In many ways, it couldn't have been implemented in a worse way but it was AI that bought all the RAM, it was OpenAI. It was not AI that stole copyrighted content, it was Facebook. It wasn't AI that laid off thousands of employees, it's deluded executives who don't understand that this tool is an augmentation, not a replacement for humans.

I'm not a big fan of having to pay a monthly sub to Anthropic, I don't like depending on cloud services. But a few months ago (and I was pretty much at my lowest back then, barely able to do anything), I realized that this stuff was starting to do a competent job and was very valuable. And at least I'm not paying Google, Facebook, OpenAI or some company that cooperates with the US army.

Anyway, I was suspecting that this "issue" might come up so I've removed the Claude co-authorship from the commits a few days ago. So good luck figuring out what's generated and what is not. Whether or not I use Claude is not going to change society, this requires changes at a deeper level, and we all know that nothing is going to improve with the current US administration.

I understand the hatred towards AI, but people gotta understand that there's a difference between coding with AI and Vibecoding. They are DIFFERENT THINGS! AI is userful, what is not are both vibecoding and shaming a developer with 30 years of real world experience with no AI support for using it for once. Using AI is ok if you do that critically and with common sense

[–] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 20 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

If it's making commits for you you're vibe coding.

I use it at work, I use it for troubleshooting and if I get it to generate anything for me, I stage them and review them before committing myself

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 1 points 6 hours ago

Jokes on you, I've used it to untangle messy git problems (with a backup of course).

[–] r1veRRR@feddit.org -1 points 5 hours ago

No, vibe coding explicitly requires NEVER looking at the actual code. I can give claude a ticket, it creates a plan. I review that plan, maybe change some things. Then claude does the thing. I review the code, then tell claude to fix X. Then I test, then I tell claude to create a commit.

There we have claude creating a commit without any of it being vibe coded

You are correct but people in general are pretty bad at subtly and grey area. Just look at the current state of political discourse in the US. Probably half the people that support the likes of Trump do so because they like black/white binary choice and can't handle shades of grey in their life emotionally.

100% american public debate lol

Are you asking people to be rational? What kind of monster are you

[–] Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 7 hours ago

It is more nuance than rationality.

There are plenty of reasons to hate on AI. But in the end they are just tools to automate things. It depends entirely on how it is being used. With enough effort and most importantly checking the output, you can create things faster while still keeping the same quality as before.

Calling anything that even slightly touched an LLM "slop" and crawling in a fetus position while crying is a lot less rational. These people have no idea about the real world.

[–] SigmarStern@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 8 hours ago

I totally agree. I'm not an AI hype man. I want to scream whenever I see a PR littered with emojis, bullet lists, and way too much text for a simple change. I hate the discussions about the transformative power of AI, the 10x production gains, all the million tools, agents, skills, plugins, methods I should be using but I am already behind and old and probably unemployed next week, right? Still, AI use is not inherently bad. It gets me unstuck. It finds subtle errors I wasn't noticing, it writes documentation faster and better than I can. I hate the companies who are pushing it, the methods of it's training, but the tool itself is just a tool and sometimes a very useful one. IMHO we shouldn't shame every open source developer just for using it. As long as they are responsible with it, I'm fine with some AI code in my software.

Please, go ahead and remove everything "AI" in your life. No social media. No GPS. No assist when driving or being driven. No streaming of any kind. No meteo apps. Ask your boss to remove everything related to prevision in his company. Ask your doctor to not use any tool to help his diagnosis if you have a scanner for cancer.

Let's see how many of those you can "pass". Or let's see if it helps you develop a critical mind about to use which tool for which job and how to use it.

[–] Reygle@lemmy.world 0 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I'm already full Linux at work. Location on my mobile is always OFF unless I need it on rare occasions. I don't stream. I self host.

Say your last sentence into a mirror today.

[–] yabbadabaddon@lemmy.zip 0 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Bro, you are on fucking Lemmy. We are all like you. You are not special. You never ever use GPS to locate yourself, right? You never go from a to b. You never go in a shop to buy food. You never go to the doctor. You never buy anything online. You never watch YouTube. Sure.

Ho, so that's your argument? What a fucking kid. It's easy to have an opinion. It's harder to know why and not being a fucking parrot because you're so edgy.
