bro just one more AI company bro, bro I swear just one more AI company and we'll reach singularity bro
Unrelatedly I just unlocked a core memory: I learned about the "signularity" (sic, misspelled as a joke) from the webcomic questionable content. Why do I remember that?
speaking of which: sweep.dev
a wondrous automaton crafting branch and PR for every badly-written and/or outdated entry in your n-many github repositories! with in-built violation-of-boundaries!
true perfection, this will go absolutely perfectly. I have no notes.
[edit: this should possibly even be its own thread]
What the fuck? Is that a parody? People are mocking dumb LLM ideas, right? Right?!
I certainly am mocking this, but that thing appears to be a whole-ass startup.
I mean, my background in support is showing here... if an issue was submitted that was clear enough for someone to fix it, it would be fixed[1] (i.e. "there's a bug in file X, line Y, the comparison is strictly less than but should be less or equal"). By definition, the ones that are left are those that are unclear, nonsensical, off-topic or all too often all 3.

There’s also “used to matter, but then things changed and we just never got to this because it’s 200+ things deep in the backlog” etc kind of situations
Anyway, I look forward to hearing about someone using this and something going catastrophically wrong
I can replace this product with a script that just closes them as "works as designed WONTFIX"
