you know you have the option to just exchange ideas with other humans right ? fucking half cocked pseudo intellectual reaching for insults at the first 3 syllable word. what a bore.

you think religion represents 90% of the intellectual discourse?

No, i’m saying 90% of intellectual discourse is at least influenced by religion because it comes from people who are religious. Atheism being significant is a very modern phenomenon so if you’re going to study anything in history, philosophy, art or science, it’s gonna be full of religious people acting out their religious beliefs.

Even today something like 4 out of 5 people are religious, and most atheists are influenced by that common culture in some way. Dismissing the whole cultural reservoir as fairy tale is a terrible footgun, it can only make everything confusing. Everybody else is pulling from it and you refuse to even acknowledge it, that’s not gonna work.

You’re going to read poetry but it will make no sense and the climax won’t land because you can’t empathize with the religious sentiment. You’re going to read greek philosophy but it will feel drawn out and theoretical because you can’t empathize with the religious imperatives of the author. And i say this as a strict agnostic, i’m really not the kind of guy you’ll find in a church. But you can’t get to the meat of most intellectual discourse if you dismiss religion, just like you can’t get to the meat of most physics if you dismiss math.

Yeah it’s pretty sad to see comments such as this. It’s a terribly unpoetic way to live life, cutting themselves off from 90% of the intellectual discourse produced during humanity’s history :(

And that’s great for you but I still think you’ll be in a minority. Which is not necessarily bad of course.

Open Source devs mostly come from the industry and the penetration of agentic coding in the industry has been massive over the last six months. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything of this scale.

I think disclosure is good and should be tackled as soon as possible because being transparent in your communication is just good practice in general.

However I feel like this will soon be rendered useless as all projects will move to agentic (or otherwise ai-assisted) coding.

Maybe there’ll be a movement of hand coded FOSS but realistically they’ll have a hard time. Resources are already tight for most projects, and rejecting productivity in favor of aesthetics is a rich guy’s strategy.

This whole debacle is showing that people fundamentally misunderstand how code works. They are trying to declare code good or code bad because of some silly heuristics like ai/not-ai, as if it wasn’t literal lines of text which you can read before you form an opinion and make a fool of yourself.
