Fuck AI

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.

I don't get it, why would you take a program (or ANYTHING) you created and let some AI shit all over it. I will never.

Turns out GloriousEggroll who is best known for Nobara and GE-Proton is defending this shit as well. Source

That's funny, not long ago people were giving me shit for saying Lutris is a confusing, unintuitive mess.

Well I guess now we know why.

Can a motherfucker get a break, PLEASE.

I use Lutris for games that don't work in Steam/Proton, usually an older game like Black and White 2 or the old Sims 2 game (before the updated version came out). Why is everything I like turning to shit! :(

I always found Lutris to be troublesome at best. Always had better luck with Bottles.

From reading the posted threads the Lutris devs have even bigger red flags, the AI usage seems like just another symptom of their total disdain for the users of their program.

I'm tired boss

Great, hope people like Electron because Heroic is pretty much the only other option, that or just manually putting everything in Steam.

Dam. Glad I never really used lutris lol

You know what's great about open source software?

You can fork it and turn it into your own project. With black jack and hookers.

Can it even still call itself open source when it is entirely unclear where the AI they used took the code from, and under what license it was published?

What even does using AI regurgitated code do to the license of a software product? Because basically what they are doing is exactly the same as going through shit tons of comments on stackoverflow and copying them verbatim into the code base. Without attribution or regard to licensing.

What shit.

This explains why the updates have ruined everything in the past month. I turned off updates on Lutris so my games will actually still work.

AI sucks and needs to go away.

Sloptris

You have got to be fucking kidding me.

Goddamn... I just switched to Lutris because Faugus launcher was throwing me errors when trying to launch certain games...

Even worse, i just realized I can't simply uninstall Lutris because it comes preinstalled with bazzite.

Is Heroic still safe?
