Microsoft’s internal effort to replace humans with LLMs is showing. The quality of GitHub’s web interface started to decline rapidly in the past 2-3 months: they have been failing to remove inhibition correctly, uploading attachments is broken 80% of the time, when it does work it incorrectly shows supported file formats, and now it just told me to press the Windows key on my phone… Do I know for a fact that these regressions are caused by LLMs? No, but I would be surprised if they weren’t.

I added an Atom feed to my blog for anyone that would like to add it to their RSS reader :blahaj: 📃.xml

Out of curiosity, I had asked GitHub Copilot to create an issue for me in one of my own repos and it didn’t even do the basic task of checking for duplicates. There were at least 5. I’ve been holding off on moving everything to @Codeberg.org because of CI and because “everyone has a GitHub account” but directly enabling AI generated spam is the final straw. I will start migration of what I can on the weekend and I encourage everyone to join me in using a non-corporate forge.
