@SaftyKuma @eniko it's worse than that though, that's why is so infuriating!
I am only in it for the paycheck, full stop.
But using LLMs is FUCKING STUPID.
Managing tech debit and understanding how your codebase works is how to be effective, operating a slop firehose is not.
Engineering rigor is a means to an end to keep software development manageable, not just a stylistic choice.
People discarding it to chase a code completion skinner box isn't pragmatism it's insanity.

@dsalo if you've ever worked with a static analysis tool on a large codebase, "reported vulnerabilities that have a chance of being significant" are a dime a dozen. The hard part is triaging the massive number of mostly not meaningful reports and finding the handful of ones worth addressing, and the extra extra hard problem is doing this in a way where you can keep running the tools without having to repeat the whole audit process every time.
AFAIK Mythos doesn't address either of these points.

Bit pricey for stuffing into computers though.

@vantiss yea this is very much in the "the worst people you know are fighting" genre. Pretty much everyone with a Really Big Web Presence does some kind of fingerprinting to try and at lest detect bot/scraping activity, and then the devil is in the details of how they do it and what they do in response.
"you need to treat scrapers fairly" is a REALLY HARD argument to make.

@fedilore even putting aside all the red flags sprinkled around in the way the post is written, YES you can have a "let's celebrate one specific demographic" event, that's a thing you can do.
"Other people can have their own party, it's not all about you" is a life lesson for 5 year olds, not presumptive adults.

@fedilore "not just for deny lists" without a worked example of what those "other actions" are is at least a yellow flag as well.
A brief overview of their docs indicates the, "we're just advisory not a block list" just means "we called 'blocks' 'reccomendations' instead", it's a fig leaf.
All the block lists have the *capacity* to include substantiating information, the problem is in practice they don't, this is no different.

@jk @wilbr yea I off-handedly called it "corporation", but there is no specific term I'm aware of that precisely addresses this.
My point cross-cuts such designations, co-ops and other organizations that aim to avoid these pressures must take definite action to set up their governance in a way that avoids these pitfalls, and what I offhandedly called a corporation is an organizationn that does not take these measures or instead embraces profit-seeking as a motive in itself.

@wilbr @jk yes! I'm not saying the people making these decisions at Mozilla aren't stupid! They absolutely are, these are incredibly dumb unforced errors! But they are dumb unforced errors that the decision makers are not going to feel any meaningful repercussions for.
The way corporations work reinforces this idiocy instead of discouraging it. You can get lucky and have people who care for a while, but ultimately by being incorporated you have stacked the deck against long term success.

As long as the evolution misunderstanders aren't using their misunderstanding to challenge the beliefs of the evolution deniers, the deniers are ok with that, and as long as the deniers have no moral qualms with what the misunderstanders really want to happen i.e. racial genocide, they're fine the other way too.
The common goal is bigotry, that's the actual belief system.

@jk it's worse than stupid, they're a *corporation*. This means whoever their leadership is, they're pulled from the ranks of "corporate leadership" who fundamentally don't give a shit about anything and are highly incentivized by the structure of how corporations work to seek growth at all costs.
It's not that they have particularly stupid people in charge, they didn't get unlucky, this is a corporation working the way corporations are designed to work.

@oldladyplays no help with the story but another angle is it acts as an innoculation against nazis. They still show up but will, "ask questions" about the inclusivity statement and out themselves in short order.
To be clear the discussion doesn't end with the asking questions stage, as you noted those same questions can be and are asked in good faith as well.
