Please don't give them any ideas. The last thing we need is to be pressured to select from 1) GitHub from Microslop, 2) Gitlab with that AI sticker, 3) Self-hosted pain.

The reason a tech company exists isn't solely your convenience. They need to find different ways to bill you, so they start by collecting telemetry. If their offering is a multi-tenant situation from their backend, then they need to address the noisy neighbor problem, thundering herd, abuse detection... The more programmable the product is, the heavier impact these tools have, and at some point, it gathers the attention of the state. They are not bullied, the tech companies are not the victims here. You are, as a customer, because you're lured in with generous free tier offerings first and you're locked in over time, and when the inevitable comes you either 1) Consider migration 2) Accept the vendor lock-in to whatever degree that feels comfortable to you.

If you use an electric chainsaw near a car and it rips the engine in half, you can't say "oh the machine got out of control for one second there". you caused real harm, you will pay the price for it.

Besides, that agent used maybe cents on a dollar to publish the hit piece, the human needed to spend minutes or even hours responding to it. This is an effective loss of productivity caused by AI.

Honestly, if this happened to me, I'd be furious.


If you write code that powers an EV's 'self driving mode' - which makes calculated choices, sell it and deploy it, when that car gets into an accident under 'self driving mode', you may not be liable (depending on the case and jurisdiction - as proven in the past). The driver is.

There are many instances (where I am from, at least - and I believe in the USA), where 'accidents' happen and individuals are found not guilty. As long as you can prove that it wasn't due to negligence. Could "don't be an asshole" as instructions be enough in some arenas to prove they aren't negligent? I believe so.


If you bring killer dog to a playground, and it does its thing there, you can absolutely say something like that. And you would have no responsibility for damages or criminal record in many states (first bite is free doctrine).


You shouldn't be allowed around animals


Yes, and if a candle burns down a building, you are liable for the damage it caused. Likewise if a human employee messed up, the employer would be liable for the damage.


Git works universally as a storage backend, with some reasoning capacity thanks to commit history. It didn't need to include semantics about the code or build a tree of knowledge. That would be against Linux philosophy: Do one thing and do it well.

You can build whatever you want on top to help your AI agents. That would be actually beneficial so that we stop feeding raw text to this insane machinery for once.


I sincerely hope this is satire. Otherwise it's a crime in statistics: - You wouldn't fit a model where f(t) goes to infinity with finite t. - Most of the parameters suggested are actually a better fit for logistics curves, not even linear fits, but they are lumped together with the magic Arxiv number feature for a hyperbolic fit. - Copilot metric has two degrees and two parameters. dof is zero, so we could've fit literally any other function.

I know we want to talk about singularity, but isn't that just humans freaking out at this point? It will happen on a Tuesday, yeah no joke.


I know one team, consists of me only :)


Unfortunately I'm also in the same camp, with SBOM generation, Xray, Curation, the whole shebang. I couldn't find these in the docs as well, which would matter in my case.


Ok updated docs https://artifactkeeper.com/docs/security/scanning/

SHould have info on the CVE, please leave some issues on the repository if you want to see more infromatoin on the actual dashbaord/ui :)

Thanks for the feedback!


I will add some todo's for me. I know how important this is.


In other words, he's cooking the books again.

People confuse being able to think big with being allowed to think big. With this much money loaned to him, protectionism and too many PR stunts, I don't think he delivered big enough, and he won't be able to at some point. This is madness.


This assumes people know more than just writing Dockerfiles and push straight to production. This is still a rarity.


Nowadays, it's fairly simple to ask for a unit file and accompanying bash script/tests for correctness. I think the barrier in that sense has practically vanished.


Make as many third places as you can. People need to get out to do other things than work, and these should be low cost activities. If you introduce subscriptions and then ramp up prices, then you are the scum of the world.
