All of a sudden all of the terrible, horrifying methods of measuring lines of code, commits, tasks etc. resurfaced, like world was hit with an amnesia meteor.

Though I'm not sure if they did not sneak it as some part of AB-test because the last time I did check was in october and I'm pretty sure it was not there.

That's the thing even the most barebones open-source wrappers had since 2022. Probably even before because ERP stuff people played with predates chatgpt by like two years (even if it was very simple).

Gemini btw too.

Not taking into account that they all be busy handing money to openAI, at least someone somewhere has to notice that something is very wrong.

I will be very surprised if there are not at least several groups or companies scraping these "smart" and snarky comments to find weird edge cases that they can train on, turn into demo and then sell as improvement. Hell, they would've done it if 10 billion was at stake, I can't really imagine (and I have vivid imagination, to my horror) what Californian psychopaths can do for 10 trillion.

My only blocker for a fork to maintain compatibility and path to upgrade from earlier versions.

The whole thing is a wrong way for free software and is being pushed by couple big corps out of their interests.

Where I live price for my little cluster project gone up from around ~400 usd in july (for 5 node setup) to almost 2000 usd right now. I just refreshed page and it's up by 20% day-to-day. Welp. I guess they are going to stay with 8gb sticks for a while.

I won't bet anything at it but the whole thing, the whole AI economy looks like a big YOLO, so taking another step further into this insanity is, well, just another step. Who knows, maybe next day Beff Jezos will IPO newly established company and somehow pull 1T IPO in 10 days of company existence. Wouldn't it be a sight?

That's when I discovered actually ancient term "power virus". Anyway, after talking to different people I dismissed this weird behavior and moved on.

Reading this makes me worry I actually burned mobo in that testing.

Anyway, good luck staying competitive lol. Almost everyone I knew either jumped to something more saner or in process of migrating away.

It causes incredible amount of stress in end users, who keep spamming us with tickets how our product logs out them every minute, like when they closed laptop for a minute, went from one building to another or when their VPN simply lost connection while they were on a lunch. It's like hundreds tickets per day when normally it's 3-4 per week.

And you can't really do anything about it, because "muh security standards", "we need to pass audit" and whatever.

I actually want to sit down and calculate how much working hours of everyone involved are wasted every single day, day after day, it's completely bonkers.
