Heard an interview today where a guy said (and I'm paraphrasing) "LLMs have had years to train on every aspect of chess, read every book and article about it, review every match, but when they play, they STILL makes illegal moves. That tells you everything."
And.
Yup.

Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%.

Before and After. Been thinking about taking this CRT in for repair for the last couple years (foldover), putting it off because there's not many CRT repair shops left, and lugging it in would be a pain. Decided to finally fix it myself, and hey what do you know, didn't kill myself, works great.

We find ourselves having to second guess every PR from new contributors, multiple times per day:
- The description is verbose LLM output, is the code written at least partially by a human?
- Does the "author" understand the code they're sending?
- Did they test it? Are the test results made up?

Honestly, AI slop PRs are becoming increasingly draining and demoralizing for #Godot maintainers.
If you want to help, more funding so we can pay more maintainers to deal with the slop (on top of everything we do already) is the only viable solution I can think of:

Godot's GitHub has increasingly many pull requests generated by LLMs and it's a MASSIVE time waster for reviewers – especially if people don't disclose it. Changes often make no sense, descriptions are extremely verbose, users don't understand their own changes… It's a total shitshow. #godotengine

Trump can’t pardon election felon Tina Peters for state crimes, so he’s squeezing Colorado instead—moving Space Command, canceling $100 mn in grants, and vetoing a clean-water pipeline. This type of presidential coercion threatens federalism and rewards election misconduct, this CATO paper argues.

We must never normalize these ongoing attacks by DHS agents on the people they supposedly protect.
Trump, Vance, Miller, & Noem have created a culture of impunity that has led to rampant abuse and killings.
Not one more dime for this lawlessness.

Is there a word where you suffer from doing something correctly when its expected to be done wrong?
Like if you pronounce an English word that comes from French properly, you'll sound pretentious, because most don't.
Or like if I was to refer to Sake as Nihonshu people would think I'm a weeb.
