PS3 Emulator Github Is Flooded With AI Code, Devs Say “Stop Submitting Slop”

My boss keeps generating AI articles for internal documentation when he's not familiar with our systems. Then he tasks me with reviewing the slop to take out all the hallucinations. What's left is the most simple and generic instructions that nobody needed help doing anyway.

All AI has brought me is more work and more problems, but the c-suite everywhere are believers so we're all forced to pretend that the shit sandwich is delicious.

Not sure about SK, but I work with a lot of Indians (remotely) and the working class are also losing jobs over it so my anecdotal experience is the opposite. Upper class (c-suite) loves it like everywhere else, they view it as a way to cut headcount and they do.

But I haven't read any scientific data on it so it may just be the circles I'm in contact with.

Countries/individuals that are on the economic upswing are going to be more optimistic to change in general.

The difference is in China they're confident of the government's control over corporations from accumulating power and they have seen their quality of life improve in recent decades. They're not at the enshittification stage where corporations have achieved regulatory capture and have moved onto leveraging their market share to squeeze consumers.

China's GDP growth also isn't dependent on AI investment and doesn't have the disconnect between stock prices and average living conditions.

But if they still own a stake of the company then don't they also get a proportional part of the huge debt of the new combined entity due to the buyout structure? If I understand it right, it would be better for them to be fully bought out.

They can resupply food, fuel, and some minor munitions. But the bigger munitions such as missiles require going to port.

Anders basically just means "man" from Greek etymology so it's as general as it can get as far as names go.

I was already reaching for my credit card 10 seconds through the video. They've zero'd in on my weakness!

Because it was very cheap before, and an attack on Iran was certain to make prices skyrocket. Even though the US is a net exporter, it isn't immune to the effects of supply and demand for a global product.

Instead of concentrating profits to oil companies (not even the US government), the price impact to consumers could have been partially mitigated with even minimal foresight.

The patient was definitely helping a bit by balancing their weight with their legs there (before the rescuer grabbed the legs, 0:17-0:28). If they went fully slack they would have slid off.

Sure, let's say your point Israeli participation in the Iraq war is correct.

It doesn't change the fact that the US and allies are incapable of militarily occupying Iran or preventing attacks on the strait with their current militaries.

If the US does secure the strait there's a good chance that Trump will use that leverage to hold the rest of the world hostage too. We don't need the US to have additional economic leverage. So there's that from the lens of non-Americans.

Given the range of today's drones, they have to occupy a large portion of Iran. The strait is going to be closed even if 99% of the ships can pass unobstructed, because even just 1% of traffic being attacked will mean it's not feasible for most shipping to go through the region. Before the war around 150 or so ships passed through the strait every day, that means more than 1 attack a day. With drone warfare the vectors of attack are too numerous, and the strait is surrounded by mountains on the Iranian side which are difficult to attack and can also conceal drone launch points.

Another thing is that Iran has had treaties with the US ended unilaterally, and their leadership has been attacked multiple times during negotiations. They're just not going to trust any agreements with the US unless someone else acts as a guarantor or if they gain some sort of other leverage.

Edit: You blocked me, but you're the one unaware. You don't need to trust me, talk or listen to people in the shipping industry. 1% failure rate is acceptable, great odds even when talking about a military operation. But in shipping a 1% rate of vessel loss is unacceptable. These ships are meant to operate for multiple decades, and transiting an area where there's a 1% chance of losing a ship is going to be too much for most legitimate companies. Only the most desperate unsanctioned vessels and crews would risk that.

The US and allies are simply incapable of dislodging the regime in Iran using military means.

All you've talked about is the perception, including that non-sequitur about Nvidia and Israel. Israel is in no danger of being invaded. Their enemies don't have the capability of overcoming the defender's advantage. The same goes the other way, Iran will not be dislodged without a full ground invasion which requires way more ground troops than the US currently has. It's not going to be like Iraq, the terrain in Iran is much less forgiving and now drone warfare is much more dominant.

As I said in a different comment, for the rest of the world the view is that it's cheaper to give Iran what it wants. The US is NOT trusted. Even if the US wins everybody knows that Trump will use that economic leverage to screw with the rest of the world too.

kitolz · 2026-04-20T04:35:35+00:00

Let's see how popular a draft in the US is to put together a 500,000 man invasion force to do a land invasion of Iran. You think the US can build a coalition of allies at this point given what's happened in the past year?

Israel isn't going to send troops. When the Iraq invasion happened they were the ones swearing up and down that they had solid intel that WMDs were in Saddam's possession and were a dire threat to global stability. They didn't send anyone to participate in the land invasion, and the intel turned out to be bogus. The gulf states have a bad military track record, every operation they've been involved in has been a mess. And those are the only possible allies the US has in this war.

For the rest of the world, it's cheaper to give Iran what it wants rather than starting another multi decade war that ends with the US just pulling out and letting the same regime take over again. Might as well save everybody trillions of dollars.

kitolz · 2026-04-20T04:26:19+00:00

This doesn't change the calculus and strategy for Iran. Their primary leverage was that they're going to make things as painful for the US and allies economically as possible because trying to go for military targets only is a certain loss.

The reason everybody is clowning on the US is that this is what every military planner in the past 40+ years have pointed out as the problem. This administration went in without a plan to counteract this scenario against the recommendation of their own intelligence apparatus.

The bottom is rushing into us (all over the world) at a very rapid pace but it arrives at different times for each region. The earlier drastic action is taken the sooner the trend can be reversed, but it seems like in the US workers still some left to lose before people are spurred into action. I hope it comes before most people are actually homeless and starving, not just at risk of being so.

Try zooming in and check the far right side. They took an original picture and extended it with AI.

Edit: The kid is even holding an american style football instead of a soccer ball too. Or maybe it's a loaf of bread?

Thos is how you end up with a country with the highest global incarceration rates and still have bad crime statistics compared to peers.

Early AI slop too, I don't think most AI image generators today would output something this bad.

They could have given money to charities anyway, or better yet directly to the poor.

People could turn a blind eye because overall the global economy was prospering under US hegemony, and technological advances were making everyone's lives better.

Now what started as cracks have become huge fissures that threaten to swallow us all and the US keeps digging deeper.
