mcdanlj@social.makerforums.info@corbet Wow that was a fun read. Can't wait to see the summary, along with the complaints about all the people who aren't True Believers in the inevitable power of LLMs as "generative AI"...

@corbet I'm not an OpenBSD dev, but I took a brief look at the diffs and they are as high quality as we've come to expect from stochastic parrots. 😬

@corbet "the fact that whole netinet/netinet6 10000+ checks were added with no human intervention and produced a working, arguably safer kernel, is surprising to me.
Beware that at the current state, it might not be actually safer as the checks may actually introduce new bugs."
That's... a hell of a pair of sentences.

@corbet and "I added 10000+ checks so far, in about 4 or 5 hs. Final count will likely be close to a million. It's true that many are useless, perhaps up to 50% of them."

soaproot@sfba.social@corbet Oh they are so doomed. I mean I was skeptical to start but when I got to "The tool is not
yet public but . . ." I realized there's nothing good to say after the "but" here
