Lol, I'm sure I absolutely deserve the label. Done more than my share of splitting hairs and refusing to budge in arguments around here.

Curl is getting a slew of amatuer programmers throwing non-tuned AI at the project and just saying "go find problems" then throwing it as pull requests at curl when the pull creators have no ability to understand what the AI found or the code it generated. Curl never asked for it, and they aren't self identifying as AI generated.
In contrast, Mozilla is actively working with Anthropic on this, which implies at least some amount of coordination and intent with this. That would mean professionals from Anthropic and Mozilla fine tuning these AIs to reduce false positives. They will also be clearly labeled as AI generated. If it results in needless busywork, they're free to cut the agreement at any time.
I'm not a particular fan of this either, and I think that there's plenty of ground to cover with less resource intensive pattern matching bug and error detection schemes that should be focused on first, but this is absolutely not the same situation that happened to curl.
I think there's a racing game that does as well. SimCar maybe?
It legitimately would have been easier and higher quality to use an image editor.
As others have said, welcome to lemmy.
Dessalines is one of the lead devs, admin of the flagship instance lemmy.ml (and mod of many of its comms as you've seen). He is known to be incredibly heavy handed in his admin/moderation choices.
As far as using communities goes, just steer clear of .ml comms if it's a problem for you. Plenty of equivalent comms on other instances.
And if you don't like using software made by someone like that, piefed is interoperable. Made by a user that goes by rimu.
The takeaway is that this isn't unusual or concerning behavior for dessalines.
Check multiple instances. .ml may be the flagship instance, but a lot of communities are more busy on topic specific instances. Nice thing about lemmy and federation is that you don't need to hop sites to get their communities.
Programming.dev has most of the programming related comms. lemmy.dbzer0.com for piracy (and self-hosted AI). There's a furry run instance, blahaj for LGBTQIA+ stuff, an anime focused instance, a literature focused one, a nsfw one, and lemmy.world for most else.
But doctor, I am Pagliacci
I hope it's just a joke
Yes, the classic Mozilla April Fools joke, released a full month early.
What's the movie?
There have been some artists that did actual performance art similar to this. "Miniskirt" made of mirrors with nothing underneath, so that participants would theoretically have to look at themselves while touching the female artist/performer below the belt.
To me it reeked of some odd fetishy shit, but that was the stated intent, to make people reflect on treating women like objects.
It's time for America's favorite game show: Kink or Killer!





Make your own comm for this if you absolutely must pour your slop out on lemmy.
