EDIT: they are not only the top 3 committers, they are the only 3 committers
EDIT0: repo is all screenshots and markdown files, another one has a trivial amount of code also written with ai
Thank you for saving me the time I would have wasted getting excited about this
Well there is nothing to be excited about, the entire repo is empty with only a bunch of readme files. Zero code has been written ai or not.
It's open source. Feel free to write your own software, or pay someone to do it for you.
"Here is a beautiful piece of art. You say it's just a blank piece of paper? Please feel free to draw your own art on it, and then it will be as I said."
I know the real news here is the hardware, but it is still funny...
The thing is... it's not blank. It's painted, but someone complains no that the art is bad, but that they don't like how it was painted. Well, nobody is forcing you to look at it, you can even paint it yourself.
Isn't the repo basically blank...?
Don't use any operating systems and most major websites then because theyre all using a coding agent now. It's just the way the industry is going at the moment
edit: Linux uses ~~Claude~~ copilot ffs. It needs to be noted as an AI contribution and needs human review but Linux and Windows definitely use AI coding agents and I guarantee Apple does too. Be in denial all you want. I'm not advocating for them, I'm stating the reality of the industry right now.
linux kernel code scrutiny is extreme
random vibe coded github repo code scrutiny is none at all
The difference between Linux and this random repository is that Linux has very strict code quality control, this repo and other thousand of projects (including winvibe 11) don't;
If everyone had a strict policy of "AI as an help only and not as a replacement" and quality control, then i wouldn't complain at all but we aren't at that point yet and i doubt we will ever be
Lemmy users don't care about reality, you're talking to a brick wall basically.
Go tell this to a fencepost near your home.
Read it and weep. From April 2026 https://www.tomshardware.com/software/linux/linux-lays-down-the-law-on-ai-generated-code-yes-to-copilot-no-to-ai-slop-and-humans-take-the-fall-for-mistakes-after-months-of-fierce-debate-torvalds-and-maintainers-come-to-an-agreement
Again I am not advocating for AI coding agents but they ARE BEING USED in major applications. Unplug or accept a lot of software/websites you use are using coding agents
That's exactly why I don't like Linux that damn CIA project. Once I leave parents' crib, imma sell my best laptop (with no parents looking at me like an absolute moron) then get a ThinkPad T450p from a crackhead and then get someone else to buy that one MacBook CPU with an adapter board from Aliexpress and give that to me so that I can finally compute in peace with some BSD.
Yep, everyone updoot this so the ones who come after can stop reading at the top comment.
Downvoting you for writing updoot
downdooting you for dooting dootdoot
dootdooting doot doot dooting dootdoot
Mah Na Mah Na
Damnit, you were supposed to be here three comments ago!
Valid.
I don't see that as a problem. A vacuum cleaner isn't critical infrastructure and shouldn't be connected to the internet, so no security concerns. Worst case scenario it ruins your carpet. Majority of the work here will be done on hardware side it seems.
There's 0 code thus far. What "code" did exist is all just readme.md for various ros modules. Getting upset about the guy using ai seems a little premature.
There's another repo with a Docker file and that was all written with Claude too for some reason. Though I don't see why in the ever living fuck this would need Docker.
Also, why are we even getting excited over a vacuum cleaner existing as a pile of markdown files talking about it? There are lots of these, actually.
They don't have any code yet but 3 slopgen accounts are already connected. It's worse, it's actually worse.
So? The repository is empty did you even check it. There is no code in it at all.
And 3 accounts are already "contributing". That's not better. It's worse.
