Whether this is a real bug or not, the fact that the entire report is LLM generated AI slop makes my eyes glaze over.

I'm sure it's also a waste of maintainers time to drop a wall of AI bullet points instead of just sharing the critical information.

monus•3mo ago
Agreed. Use LLM all you want to do the discovery and proof but do not use it to replace your voice. I literally can’t read, my brain just shuts off when I see LLM text.
nullpoint420•3mo ago
It’s crazy how they just copied and pasted it
geraneum•3mo ago
Maybe it’s not even a copy paste. Just something running in a loop, interacting with LLMs and automatically calling APIs.
radarsat1•3mo ago
It is a strange phenomenon though, these walls of text that LLMs output, when you consider that one thing they're really good at is summarization, and that if they are trained on bug report data, you'd think they would reproduce it in terms of style and conciseness.

Is it mainly post-training that causes this behaviour? They seem to do it for everything, like they are really biased towards super verbose output these days. Maybe something to do with reasoning models being trained for longer output?

shakna•3mo ago
Oh yay. More AI powered slop.

And I do mean slop.

It was fixed already: https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/pull/4751

So the bot goes ahead and spams every project that has already done the work. And unrelated ones.

Whilst also leaking that this is to do with a GEO-location project building a cluster on AWS, for Accenture. Probably government contract.

Hostname points to an insurance company.

"ip-10-7-66-184.prod-eks.newfront.com"

shakna•2mo ago
Author's profile points to a member of Accenture's ADVANCE team, who specialise currently in AI powered infrastructure.

The insurance company is the client getting their info dumped by a careless approach.

But I didn't really want to dox the client.

I was going to say "Needs more emojis", then I scrolled down, and phew! Purple tick box emojis! I was worried a human was in the loop for a second.

Thank God for LLM!

> Thank you for the context! That makes sense - runc is correctly rounding to 10ms (410000) as systemd requires.

You're absolutely right! I shall now commit ritualised suicide based on your feedback! <arrow in target emoji>

Having the AI reply to comments is almost like a direct insult.

elmigranto•3mo ago
Purple tick box is how GitHub formats links to merged PRs and closed issues.
EdwardDiego•2mo ago
Nope, it's how Claude formats ticks, apparently.
dropbox_miner•2mo ago
This makes me worry about the direction in which open source is headed. There is an issue opened now to talk about LLM Generated issues:
