yeah i knew about the backroom dtolnay nonsense, also wish rust had reflection/introspection, and have been working on excising serde from my codebases as well.

the armin stuff is just... eugh.

unfortunately you can learn a lot about someone by who they immediately give the benefit of the doubt to even when they don't have the full picture

"maybe it was a DEI offering" is insane and additionally implies that, had it been a DEI offering, it was a good thing that the talk got pulled

i would love to read that accusation from him if you remember where it was posted
November 27, 2025 at 8:55 PM
i was surprised to see it break out of the swdev sphere but i was not surprised to see the response it got once it did and i will further not be surprised if "or have you moved toward acceptance" becomes a bsky in-joke
November 27, 2025 at 6:07 PM
and just generally the surrounding thread and "why are people responding so poorly to my thinly-veiled shit stirring"
November 27, 2025 at 6:02 PM
Are you still massively pro-apartheid or have you moved more towards acceptance?

let alone the arrogance of submitting PRs like this to open-source projects.

and then the indignance of ai proponents whenever a project has the audacity to institute anything but full support of gen AI contributions.

"even if these aren't bots they're acting like bots" isn't it, man.

curious, though – do you, as someone who has publicly lamented the state of "ai discourse" in the past, think that armin's OP represents "good" discourse? it really comes off as bait to me.

i've already seen at least one project claim to have "zero ai-generated content" while clearly being 100% chatgpt ouput, because of course ai boosters have no reservations about lying about provenance as long as it personally benefits them

especially give plugin devs money if they deliberately do not have black friday sales

November 17, 2025 at 5:20 PM

November 15, 2025 at 7:29 PM
yeah it's such a trip. I can smell it but even when I've tried out molecule 01 it fades in and out.
