As an example, I recently encountered one of these AI bots [1] in Ibis’s GitHub repository [2].

    • §“What just happened?”.

      • The bot seems to automatically scour GitHub repos for issues, and uses AI to generate solutions for them, and subsequently submits them to the issue.

    […] Who’s that […]?

    I presume they are referring to @nutomic@lemmy.ml [1]; nutomic is one of the main Lemmy developers [1.1].


    […] what does he have to do with this post?

    If they are indeed referring to @nutomic@lemmy.ml, I presume they are mentioning nutomic because the example GitHub repository that I cited [3] is owned by nutomic [2]; that being said, specifically regarding their claim itself that nutomic is transphobic [4] and is a genocide denier [4], it is entirely off topic, imo.

    I will make no comment on the veracity of the claim itself without evidence. I do not wish to speak for nutomic — I will let them speak for themself here should they wish.
