"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Why are anthropic employees contributing on open source projects? Aren't they super busy with being at the company? How the repo owner knows they are anthropic employees? Maybe im over thinking this, please explain >;0
It's all tests to see if the AI can go undetected. They are using it as a measure of "quality".
Many corporations contribute back to open source projects they use. That in itself is not anything new or even shady. Microsoft really put a lot of work into git (not to be confused with buying GitHub). But being opaque about how you're making the code is, at the very least, disingenuous.
That's how they train their new models, get them to generate code and then have FOSS contributors do the work of reviewing AI slop.
They’re not, they’re just allowing AI to use their credentials essentially
No one's mentioned that, but I see this as a way to launder their copyright infringements. Can't sue them if you "use" their product
