Seems like he’s been pushed into using LLMs as a way to cope with the deluge of LLM-generated security reports.

This whole debacle is making me extremely black pilled about open software in general. Just like cheap computing has died in recent years, I suspect non corporate free software is about to meet the same end to the acclaim of people who think they’re doing a good thing for the world.
Do you mind describing what black pill means in this context? I’m familiar with the red/blue pill references, but could only find the incel context of black pill online. Is it just a “harsh truth” kinda thing?
Sorry for bringing terminally online slang to the table haha
In my head yeah it’s the pill that teaches you a bleak and depressing truth but shows you no way out of it. I may be misusing the term.
You most certainly are, use a different metaphor/descriptor.
He’s using it correctly
I most certainly won’t lol
Ok then, you are labelling yourself as a pathetic loser.

Lol
This article is pretty shoddy. It acknowledges that “red/blue pill” comes from the Matrix but then acts like incels were the only ones using it and pushing its evolution as a suffix. When in reality it developed across the whole internet, not just within incel communities. Oldass encyclopedia being out of touch.
“Blackpilled” specifically basically just means pessimistic, doomer, etc. I see it used in this context on a regular basis with no association to incel, rightwing, or misogynist ideologies.
It certainly has its own unique meaning within those communities, but it’s very clear that’s not how OP was using it. To argue they were misusing the term you’d have to prove that most people here associate “x-pill” terminology with incels, rather than directly with The Matrix and/or how the terminology is commonly used on social media by regular people.
I can’t argue the current usage as I’m not terminally online enough anymore to have that knowledge but the original online usage of red-pill and ‘redpilling’ somebody was absolutely intrinsically connected to far-right and incel online spaces.
When you say it “developed across the whole internet, not just within incel communities” this is evidentially wrong. Early use was based around 4chan and manosphere/MRA ‘gender-truths’ and then increasingly co-opted by the alt-right pipeline to invoke a rejection of what they saw as the liberal status quo. Redpilling in its early use was basically slowly radicalising somebody to extreme alt-right viewpoints.
It’s one of the phenomena of linguistic appropriation (matrix redpill & trans-identity notions -> right-wing appropriation, gender standards and conservative values -> wide-spread normalization also outside strictly political contexts) by the right that words like woke, privileged also went through.
You gotta get up on ai start using it yourself, good or bad it is what it is and people will be left behind.
I think you misread my comment. I’m depressed that people are harassing open source devs, not that open source devs use LLMs.
I don’t give a shit whether a maintainer like Tridge uses AI, because i trust them to review the AI’s code like they’ve reviewed human contributions since forever.
