Today in InfoSec Job Security News:

@Fooker @fuzzyfuzzyfungus and if I walk through all the logic, I totally understand these folks.

I don't agree with them, that's not who I am personally. But I understand the incentive structure and they're going to work with what they have.

We have an entire book titled "Bullshit Jobs" talking about how widespread the phenomenon is. And here we have a machine that is basically a bullshit generator, all ready to tackle those bullshit jobs. It's a perfect match!

Is this a great use of human or computer resources? Probably not. But that misuse has nothing to do with either the computers or the humans in the loop. It's entirely part of a bigger system that fails to match incentives correctly.

But that's why humans use the stuff. Not because it's good, but because it's what they were asked for.

I think we should be asking for better things, but that shift is a blog post unto itself. //

@dalias

I do not think you read my comment, that is fine, I am not going to say that I agree to disagree with you because I never even broached the topic you responded with at all. Take care and have a great day, I can see this conversation is going nowhere. That is fine, we both have better things to do. 😀

@GossiTheDog is it a concerted attack on open source software to preserve closed source for-profit stuff?

@joeyh @GossiTheDog Works like a g--d--- charm. juanfont/headscale has claude commits if anyone wants a test case.

[sawaba@infosec.exchange]

@GossiTheDog that’s quite a bit lower than I would have expected

[njsg@mementomori.social]

@GossiTheDog So Claude is "Jia Tan as a Service"?

[perigee@rage.love]

@GossiTheDog @deliberately_me or actually a nearly infinite number of worms.

[skykiss@sfba.social]

@GossiTheDog Is Claude a real person

[icewolf@masto.brightfur.net]

@GossiTheDog Holy yikes.

[konstruct@woof.tech]

@GossiTheDog may this boost contribute to the fall of the AI bubble

[0x9e01@snug.moe]

@joeyh @GossiTheDog having checked this, i'm finding that on various repos it gets listed as having contributed, but then seemingly doesn't show up in any commits, issues or prs when you search for it. what's going on?

[cav@infosec.exchange]

@GossiTheDog it's been fun digging through this pile of shit

[solonovamax@tech.lgbt]

@GossiTheDog I wish more of these fucking vibe coding agent bullshits used the co-authored-by tag, so that

1. I can block them
2. you can search for shit like this

[bodling@deacon.social]

@hittitezombie @GossiTheDog I could totally see that. Like they're trying to get this Claude to mess up the FOSS projects' code enough that it'll force some people back into the arms of Big Software.

@cxj @zarchasmpgmr @da_667 @GossiTheDog 2016 AI thinkers: AI cannot possibly take over the world, because there just aren't enough security holes to give you root on all nuclear submarines in 30 seconds

2026 AI thinkers: hey AI, can you add security holes to my nuclear submarines?

[glitzersachen@hachyderm.io]

@GossiTheDog

Oh, man. Oh, oh, oh.

But as soon as somebody blocks every PR from AI or created with AI support the wailing starts.

[joeyh@sunbeam.city]

@0x9E01 @GossiTheDog I've seen in it a repo that had only Co-Authored-By: Claude, which a usual commit search won't find.

It may also flag repos that have a PR that got edited by the bot along the way, I'm not sure.
