Like LLMs in general it can sometimes be useful, but used a lot of resources, even more if you are not careful.

Still: port from one language to another is something they are at least fairly good for.

Key signing parties but for codebases...

Of course, it is all running on LLMs in the end, and using thousands of dollars of tokens. Which he can get for free from his employer, of course.

but honestly, fuck Jarred in particular. He's always been kind of a dickbag.

The thing I laugh about in all of this, the thing that is absolutely the funniest, is that while these AI generated or "rewritten" projects may be Open Source, it will never be free.

It was created using a sizable investment.
It can only be maintained by additional investment.
No one, external, will want or be able to contribute, meaning no prospect of continuance.

There will absolutely be licensing fees, because money has to come from somewhere, which absolutely undercuts whatever value they might think they're offering. That kind of renders these projects as instant abandon-ware, and any systems architect worth their salt is absolutely going to spot that red flag.

Truly, the learning opportunities are endless.

of course, they won't admit it, but given AIsloppers’ record of debugging, securing and documenting the shit they extrude with AI, someone will need what they originally wanted: Zig.

beside staying the course, they should lawyer up and have them review any licensing infringements.

EDIT: I'm pretty sure this entire bubble will pop and we just get something out of it like rad tools that also died slowly in the end. Reinforcment learning where people could "teach" a system what replies are good was allready testen by microslop looong ago. And it lead to a nazi anti feminism war loving shithead system. And now we are doing the same with more data
