AI slop pretending not to be AI slop.
Recently (since v6.5.0) I realized there were far more features to build than I could finish in reasonable time, or even learn in time. The challenges became easy and boring, a small feature or a small change was no challenge anymore, and the big ones needed big time. What was left was bugs, the worst and most exhausting time thief.
That’s where AI came in clutch. We don’t tell it to vibe code, we ask it to do the work that costs time and effort. The codebase already has its foundation and its style, and AI follows them, so Namida stays human made in the first place. It brings isolated features, does the scary big work, and fixes the annoying bugs that cost sanity and steal time that could go into something new.
I realised I had bitten off far more than I could chew so I dragged in the slop bots. I could have opened the project up to other contributors and or stepped back or even away entirely and let the project continue but it made more sense for me to let big tech splooge all over it.
Maybe I am being unfair, but fuck that so sick of this slop code shit ruining everything because people are too fucking lazy to write their own code, too proud to get help, and too dumb to utilise the appropriate free software license.
And before one of the AI fucking collaborators chimes in “erghh local models” its all still built on theft of the community commons, and once the AI industry shits itself to death and the VC funding dries up development will stagnate, who is going to pay out the mega dollars to train new models, so your local models will see some minor updates but that’s it, I’d be really careful about lobotomizing yourself because an LLM can think for you.
My thoughts exactly. Except also these models that people use to code are going to go from around $50 a month to around $1000 a month. What kind of idiot is gonna pay $1000 a month to keep their pet slop up to date? Abandoned slopware is the inevitable conclusion of all these projects.
Totally agreed, I cut myself off before the diatribe became a screed, but if I had kept going I would have touched on that point. You did it a lot more succinctly than I would have. Thank you.
dang it, i played with this some in like 2024 and it seemed really nice
Yeah. It’s a nice player. At first I thought it’s garbage like a lot of people on here lol
Excruciatingly extensive documentation with flawless grammar, and then:
Donationsss really helps with improving namida and showing appreciation (tho i alr enjoy working on it hehe, donate to keep me alive and support teto)
cool slop
@goatinspace This is not free software, just to be clear. The license states that you are not allowed to redistribute the software without approval* from the author.
* it’s more detailed than that, but that’s the gist of it
It’s free for personal use. It’s kind of common in music players with Windows support. Did you want to sell it lol?
You should ask your LLM what free software is
Free software is a matter of liberty, not price: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software
Is today the first time you have heard of Free Software
