There’s a lot of layers here. Personally, I fucking hate AI and I’m in favor, sure. But I can easily see there being legal ramifications for this too, it’s something you have to tread lightly. And as much as I hate AI, what are the odds that some idiot somewhere using AI on my team gets bit by this and I still suffer the consequences?
Ultimately I don’t think this is particularly a good idea, but it’s worth being aware of just how easy this is to do and how likely it is to be overlooked. Relying on everyone to behave politely around a tech that they are increasingly growing disgruntled over is not a gamble I’m really willing to take. The fact that this kind of well-poisoning could end up being quite effective is only going to further incentivize it. This for sure isn’t the last time we’re gonna hear about something like this and honestly I’m surprised it took this long in the first place.
Good shit. Even if this kind of thing hit my work codebase (not that we use Java, but a different one), so be it. Maybe then they would realize how profoundly stupid all of this is.
Respect.
