    @techokami > Laurent Pinchart said that some developers are frustrated that they have to justify their work against criticisms from Sashiko while other, LLM-generated patches appear to be accepted immediately. Abeni defended the automated reviews, though, saying that the number of patches introducing bugs has dropped considerably. Zijlstra said that, while reading LLM-generated reviews "shuts my brain down", he still thought that the tool is useful; it finds real problems.

    fucking amazing

    @techokami sashiko is their weird anthropomorphizing name for the LLM that runs on their CI and generates lists of “problems” with patches by the way, a thoroughly worthless thing in my long experience

    as with all other systems like this, it thinks LLM code is a-ok but nitpicks code written by people to death

    this is one of the mechanisms that burns you out fast when a project goes in on LLMs

    @zzt @techokami I’m repeating the prediction I made half an hour ago: it won’t be long before Linus goes on a rant that somehow culminates in “too many brown contributors to FOSS”

    @zzt @techokami The most fun thing about them at work is that they manage to follow "best practices" better than most humans but do it in service to code that otherwise doesn't work.

    The cleanest, most SOLID and DRY implementation of nothing in particular that you've ever seen.
