For the most part I don’t think a community as slow as this should have much in the way of moderation. The fewer restrictions, the better. We are all adults here (well, probably).
Content-free clutter like OS playground fight memes and “Look! I, too, have answered the Steam survey!” posts is an exception.
And if somebody’s talking to us via an LLM, that’s (in my own dramatising-prone opinion) disavowing what makes us special among animals (apart from our infinite capacity for conscious cruelty): Language, reasoning, imagination, creativity, self-expression, personal flair and style.
AI-generated code is unknown territory for me. The people using it sometimes seem to know pretty damn well what they’re doing, in principle, even if they’re not quite doing it themselves. So I’m not in favour of banning it outright. But, as with the parent reddit community, I have set a “two months of verifiable development time” barrier.
What do you think? Thumbs up? Thumbs down? Too lenient? Too strict? Just vote or make alternative suggestions. (I haven’t got the energy to discuss this again…)
PS: I do miss the old banner but it was AI-generated back when that was still fresh & weird & interesting to play with… now it’s more like a plague
Imo if the person moves the responsability to a third party, he should still be responsible for what happens. The wait sounds reasonable to me, as then people can see how responsible the dev or “dev” shows to be towards the project he is managing.
And by that, it allows separating those just using LLMs as additional tools, from “adventurers” (local expression for people that do things without a plan), scammers and asset flip users going for an even quicker buck.
