New Discord clone (“Harmony”) with a suspiciously AI-looking website, a single contributor, and blistering development = AI. Took me a minute to find it but it looks like they were scrubbed from a few places ~3 weeks ago.
Wow.
Yes the new frontier model from EvilCorp: people2.0
If someone hasn’t already tried that, they will.
Discord alternatived are appearing like fungi and apparently vibe coders notice that, i discovered about 2 new vibe slopped discord alternatives in less than 2 days
$ git clone https://github.com/y4my4my4m/harmony && grep -R "//.*—" harmony | wc -l 1717 em dashes in comments… yeah that’s slop
You’re right to push back — this does appear to be AI generated.
Em dashes in comments though?
I’m sorry about that – I’ll adjust my responses accordingly.
🤣
I’ve been using an em-dash for ages. Now people think I’m either a bot or use an AI to write for me. This is ridiculous.
You use em-dashes in code comments? It has its place in regular prose, but a comment is not a novel
Definetly not in code comments. I mean in general.
Thank you for your training data. o7
I hate genAI so much.
I understand your frustration. It helps me personally to remember that it’s not quite GenAI that is the problem—it’s the greed that surrounds its implementation/usage. GenAI could have been just a tool, occasionally useful, but our obsession with productivity and the capitalistic goal of replacing workers to get even more profit for the owning class—or in other words just personal greed—is the real problem, not GenAI.
It’s not the em-dashes, it’s the feelings we have about them. Concern, trepidation, confusion. We don’t need to stop using them, we need to take a breath.
generated by the slopinator 5000And honestly, you’re right to feel that way. Em-dashes are a genuine indicator of AI usage.
So are words. 🤷♀️ Em dashes are only well-represented in LLM output because they’re well-represented in the training data. There’s no simple litmus test, the scummy LLM companies would just tweak their models if there was one.
I think you could use
-oinstead of regex? not sure :D$ git clone https://github.com/y4my4my4m/harmony && grep -Ro "—" harmony | wc -lThe regex is to match only em dashes in comments (following a
//). If you want to search for all em dashes you can just do that (though there’s no need for the-osince grep matches lines andwc -lcounts lines).And grep -c spares the wc -l
Very true
makes sense, thx for the explanation :)
gonna make this an alias for shits and giggles lol
Cinny is amazing
It’s alright. As far as Matrix clients go, I like Sable. But Fluxer is on another level, I’ve really been enjoying it.
Fluxer has a permissive LLM policy, it’s why I chose Stoat over it.
Well Stoat has been in development limbo for the last decade and has no plans for federation.
I guess that’s a fair point, Matrix is also an option if federation is important.
