@theorangetheme The use within the CPython is limited to two users, one of whom is a member of the Python organization.

Running the search on the entire organization returns a few more: https://github.com/search?q=org%3Apython+%22Co-authored-by%3A+Claude%22&type=commits

Its worth noting that not all commits by these users disclose use of AI; either they didn't use AI, or did it in a way which isn't disclosed.
For the entire organization, there were 4 disclosed uses of Claude over within the last 7 days. The organization has 141 members, and 3,374 contributors to CPython alone. If these commits are the only AI generated code, then the usage would be a insignificant.

However, I don't see anything requiring contributors to disclose use of AI, so its hard to know the true number, which is likely far higher.

Even if Python doesn't ban use of AI, I think they should at least require usage to be disclosed, so AI generated PRs can be subject to extra review and so we have a clearer picture. I personally would completely ban AI generated code - and have from my projects - but given its prevalence in the tech industry, such a ban would be both unlikely and unpopular. I fail to see why anyone would object to mandatory disclosure, though I'm sure some would.

@colo_lee What anti-trans piece?

@megatronicthronbanks

We have pulled the story over concerns that it may have gone against our content policies. I locked the comments, and I'm going to lock this one too, we need some time.

We are doing an investigation right now to figure out exactly what happened. Given that it's Friday afternoon we probably won't have something to report back until Monday, but we will follow up with an explanation for our readers. Edit: Monday is a holiday, my bad, and I don't know what we'll be able to say, so I don't want to over-promise anything.

Wait until we learn the results (or lack thereof) of this investigation.
Maybe its just CYA, maybe they are seriously looking into this.

@implementcontrols They issued this statement:

@cazabon The Slack thread was started after the person evacuated:

I was not aware of the Wikipedia discussion.
I haven't read it yet, but plan to

By the time I actually finish my article on this, everything will already be publicly known and discussed to death.
:(

It blew up!

You heard it here, almost a month before the media caught on.
And guess whose original reporting is cited.

I unironically am concerned that major news organizations are just trusting a random guy on the internet's word. I could have made up those emails, and the only way they would know would be if the owner themselves spoke out.

To all of the journalists: please do not assume the owner is male. Unless you have some evidence I don't, they have never confirmed their gender. There also is evidence that the owner might be a woman...

Fixed in the MWB: https://github.com/iam-py-test/my_filters_001/commit/aae78d1610007d5ed72ed07d490011d4f1a8fcbe

Also fixed in Dandelion Sprout's Antimalware: https://github.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/commit/7542d495b6c8a7aaac99b52606f39cd89083355e

And no, I didn't break gyrovague.com. Again.
That I know of.

I was adding a commit to the MWB to fix this, and almost forgot to include blocklist.site...

blocklist.site, the former website of the Blocklist Project, appears to now be owned by scammers.

According to public reporting, which I have independently confirmed, blocklist.site redirects to malicious websites when visited. During my testing, I encountered notification scams, a fake "virus detected" screen, and a purported chocolate bar giveaway.

https://github.com/blocklistproject/Lists/issues/1586

When accessed via Tor, a VPN, or when using a known online sandbox, the website redirects to a page claiming the site is for sale.

https://tria.ge/260205-ec9v5sev8c/behavioral1

Over the last few years, the lists have seen intermittent periods of activity, but have been largely abandoned.
While I have not independently confirmed this, I suspect the domain registration for blocklist.site expired, and it was purchased by threat actors.

@ddosecrets they are on the same network. My tablet (a very old iPad) still gets the error; I restarted it and tested in two browsers.

Probably is some weird caching; I won't waste your time any more.

@legoktm smart idea.

@ddosecrets now I get a 200 when testing on my phone. I still get a gateway timeout on my tablet, which is odd.

@ddosecrets no worries

@ddosecrets fixed your Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1335522167
Most of the citations still go to the old domain though.

Also, I get a CloudFlare error on your new domain.

@ddosecrets No worries.
I can imagine.

@ddosecrets FYI, your Mastodon bio still links to the .com
