As long as it passes tests and CI, people will commit and push almost any kind of garbage it produces. I do the code reviews, and it turned into a circus after LLMs. People are extremely reluctant to fix “their code”, because they don’t understand it, and they also don’t want to go back to basics and learn the fundamentals they were trying to skip by using the LLM in the first place.
I can’t see anything positive about this development.
TLS and this proposal are different though. We don’t usually use client certificates with HTTPS. They are proposing something similar though. They want a way to attest the client. There’s really a ton of bot traffic on the web, and these bots are not browsers, and which is the reason we all solve CAPTCHAs. I get the idea, but I’ll support Mozilla’s stance on the subject.
Social Media is an entirely different game if you’re not doing it for manipulation purposes. At scale, government operated social media fails, due to lack of or excess moderation. Social media works because it triggers emotions. People go there to hate. Mastodon is methadone for these junkies.
I don’t even understand why anyone would trust any self-published metrics from this scam artist.
