"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
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.

Tar pits are cool, but you can't really put one in front of your codebase when you have it publicly hosted in GitHub or Codeberg or similar.
There are a lot of cool ways you can fuck up code for an LLM and still have it compile just fine... but the problem is that this also makes the codebase a complete nightmare for humans to work on. The real trick is to find a way to make the obfuscation reversible... but in a way that only a human can reverse it. That's the hard problem, and I'm not sure it's solvable.
