Their build command references INSTALL.md which is directions for an LLM to install dependencies and setup the environment.

Can you add the [AIP] tag to this?

I’d say the blunder was them really just staying the course. Starfield isn’t a bad game, it’s just not ground breaking (which is what everyone was expecting). I think the ship building was probably the most fun I had in a Bethesda title for a long time, but it wasn’t the focus of the game.

I’m a vegan. Just thought I’d let you know.

Those 4 points for AI code writing are extremely well thought out. I can really respect that.

I work in data and the issue here isn’t AI. Nobody in data engineering cares enough about AI to make anti-AI memes like I’ve seen in comments.

The problem here is this tool is only viable for the non-technical aspect of the interview process. In your repo’s gif image you mention you have PostgreSQL experience. Great! Show me. We aren’t going to take your word for it, you’re going to be asked to whiteboard queries based on a test setup we provide in a live environment that we provide.

Even if your AI agent is locally running, we are going to be watching it in real time. Even if your AI agent is running, we are going to be looking for things you likely didn’t include in the prompt. Did you ask it to write the query or write the query in an optimized manner? Those are two different things (and a very important distinction when working with large data sets).

Specific to AI: We don’t have any testing specific to how you use AI agents, but I have seen dev groups which have dedicated environments they build with throw-away API keys that will test how you use AI in code authoring. So that is something to consider depending on what role you’d be interviewing for.

In the end, at least on the technical side, we don’t really care what your CV says. We’re going to put you through the same test process regardless.

EDIT: After reading one comment, I want to say AI interviewers are a cancer. They act as negative modifiers to throw out candidates based on arbitrary keywords. Personally, if I encountered one I would seriously consider cancelling (obviously dependent on my options). If HR or other depts are so overworked or so lazy that they cannot actually meet me, then that is a huge red flag about the company.

Unfortunately that is how game studios function. Especially those operating as a subsidiary of a larger company. The money is made and no current project is lined up. You keep the core dev staff and terminate the others. When another project comes in, you higher more people.

Inconsistency is terrible in that area.

What’s weird is it isn’t even about AI generated code, but the disclosure of it via tag. It’s kinda redundantly stupid given the same PR with or without the tag is still subject to the same review process.

Slop code (AI or human generated) gets eliminated at that point. There is no practical reason for people to throw a tantrum over this. The argument I know someone will try to make is that there are too many AI PRs and they need a way to distinguish from them. The problem is that just means the review process is “What flair did you use?” which is not a process at all.

I think this is the first one that’s actually pro slop.

So, what is the “actually pro slop” part of original comment? It sounds like the poster just said something against hype culture (either pro or anti) and you jumped to default trash mode.

What is the actual complaint (if any) that you have?

What specifically is slop about the 7.4 sound changes?

Forking isn’t piracy. If AI trained from Stackoverflow pages is piracy, then the majority of software development would violate GPL licensing.

More over, the complaint made was about the disclosure of AI in a project, not in the existence of AI in the project.

The only people complaining about the disclosure bit are people who aren’t contributing. If you don’t like how someone is doing their job for free, then fork it.

There’s something darkly enjoyable about seeing a comment that urges both sides of the argument to see reason get downvoted into oblivion.

I agree with you, though. For 4 years now, we have perpetually been 90 days from both the AI bubble collapsing and AI stealing all of our jobs. AI is just a tool. Can you do horrible things with it? Yep. Can you do wonderful things with it? Also yep.

Literally every argument you can make for/against it has an equal and opposite argument that can be made that counters what you said.

My background is in networking and infosec, but my current work is in data engineering and automation.

1. Pretty sure an LLM agent being walked through the Debridio UI with instructions to clone out the parts probably is piracy if nothing else by non-attribution of clearly copied parts. “Clean room” itself is super gray area and not legally tested.

2. Reminds me of how people unprompted will just let you know “I’m a vegan”. I didn’t ask.

If Debridio is just AI vibe coded, then you could get around the subscription part by just AI vibe coding a Debridio clone. Pirating a piracy search tool is just piracy².

The invention of the light bulb.

That has been SO much worse than the negatives we’ve seen with AI. If anyone is interested, that is a horrible story socially, industrially, environmentally, etc. Definitely worth reading about.

The hierarchy he mentions sounds a lot like what /opt is meant for.

For laptops, I prefer something like i3wm or hyprland with workspaces configured (i’ve started playing with caelestia and noctuila shells but mostly just running waybar). That lets me avoid the touchpad as much as possible as I hate those and pushes everything to vim style keyboard shortcuts. It also lets me emulate having multiple monitors without having to view all of them (I’m terrible at multi-tasking and lose productivity when I have too many screens available).

For gaming, I like Gnome with the O-Tiling extension (thank you for the user on here that informed me of that). That is more just due to Gnome being easy to configure and not the machine that I mainly drive.

My main machine is just an old refurb Optiplex micro 7050 that runs a few containers and is mainly just for browsing and networking outside of that.

All machines I have (with the exception of a work laptop) use that same vim configuration style though. The shortcuts between all of them are the same even if the applications those shortcuts open is slightly different. CTRL+ALT+F might open hyprfm on one machine, nautilus on another, and ranger on a third. So the shortcuts globally are more just thematic. Fuzzel also runs for uncommon applications that don’t have shortcuts, but honestly I am mainly a terminal-first user so it’s rare I actually call that.

I’m highlighting the fact that none of these other points are ever mentioned. Only the debunked one is mentioned. That’s by definition not whataboutism as I don’t have to address the validity of an already debunked claim.

FYI for you, if someone raises a point, that point gets debunked, and they keep raising it anyway as if it’s still valid, then the other person pointing out “that specific claim was already debunked” is not committing whataboutism. That would be:

Rejecting a straw man: refusing to re-litigate a claim that has already been shown to be false.

Holding the line on established facts: insisting the conversation move past a disproven talking point.
