That would be impressively poor communication about events then. Either by the cruise ship captain or the coast guard, depending on how the media verified the story. A refusal is obviously a reply in layman's words.

The excuse doesn't at all line up with the "repeatedly refused to assist" either. Which seems to indicate there was clear communication of refusal.

The stats says otherwise. And I haven't seen you produce any evidence. Just a continuous stream of abuse so far.

Not really a rebuttal there. AI slop is submitted and there is more bugs because of it.

Just because you aren't using AI to write code doesn't mean others haven't done so. Linus is on record saying AI is welcome as long as it works. Well, what works is still up for grabs. People will be using the new tools. And slop is one thing that AI is already well known for.

Parts 1 to 30.

And a lot of those will be AI assisted fixes. After all, many fixes are recent ones found by AI scans.

Take a guess at what a Release Candidate (RC) is about.

This is an RC for lots and lots of **new** code. That's what RCs are about! Therefore these **are** new bugs, and many will be AI generated, that's given in today's world.

They are new bugs in new AI generated code.

Except that too much AI slop is the reason why those were brand new bugs.

kids aren't yet politically polarised. Learning new things is natural. They take to it like ducks to water.

I was thinking of AI data centres as the adversaries when reading the article until I got the comical Iran part, then I stopped reading.

I'm surprised this wasn't the first post on Slashdot. People don't even read the blurb do they.

It's only a tiny fraction of the submissions though. As the article says, the majority are slop bogus submissions. Just what AI is good at.

After all, it's free money if the payout is more than the cost.
