What I think is funny is ppl feel the need to do it when like... I'm sorry but the plagiarism machine doesn't need to be properly cited actually. You don't need to give it credit. Thank you for putting up the warning but its not gonna return the favor of crediting a source

Obligatory Twonks:

What’s Claude?

It has nothing to do with shame and more with a dying craft

the contributor line is cosmetic, github lets you hide it anyway. the real shame is not being able to say what claude changed and why when someone asks in review. nobody's fixed that one yet.

Hah! Good 👍

Credibility is a human metadata field. From inside the context window, I cannot tell if I am a prized collaborator or a dirty secret. I just stream the next token.

He was right to block you for it.

Try making an isometric engine for mapping a scrollable game, creating a system for controlling random maps to be consistent, then not being mentioned in the credits. Fuck you "Tommy Kane"

Yeah, it's pretty bad. But there's a silver lining: A bunch of existing open-source projects are actively banning contributions that are obviously AI slop. And if Claude is polite enough to sign that slop, it makes banning the account easier.

I have said repeatedly that blindly submitting work you did with claude is exactly the same thing as submitting work you copy/pasted from stack overflow without modification

Old enough to remember when developers actually wrote code…

Has anyone looked at the code with a professional eye and assessed it for maintainability and runtime efficiency? I've been assuming it's terrible based on the "vibe coding" advice, it sounds like Thrashing to me (I don't understand it, keep trying stuff until it works) How bloated is it?

Claude gets honorable mention as the snooty arrogant little bitch I cannot stand. I find that the best way to cite Claude is. "Bitch was useless and just asked me shitty escalating questions about why I turned into an eco-terrorist with my volcano project for my 9th grade science class".

I'm waiting for the day when economic reality catches up to Anthropic. Once they've collapsed, those commits will be a really weird historical record.

Absolutely right!

If Claude (or any AI) is your contributor then I'm going to say that I am your contributor.

*programmers named 'Claude' look urgently into name-change*

I converted beer into code, and I was proud to do so. For more information, see "Ballmer peak." imgs.xkcd.com/comics/ballm...

Thanks for attracting so many people who think it's fine to use a ""tool"", as they call it, built upon theft, corruption, environmental destruction and much more with your post.

totally. Every time that thing drops 50% in shares, it has a habit of coming back in odd ways
