To understand terminal capitalism, first you must understand recursion.
Ignoring the AI going haywire for a bit - what is that feature request? I seriously can’t wrap my head around it. What even is the point it’s trying to make?
Love how every reply mocking them got hidden as off-topic
Yeah it’s like the Microslop AI is so committed to the importance of smelling its own farts.
Funny but I have an itch to note that this is a simple infinite loop, not a recursion.
What is capitalism if not recursion? Spending more and more resources on falling into a bottomless pit.
Oh, I meant the ping pong loop of the GitHub bot and it was pure technical nitpicking. But since you’re asking, the definition of recursion is a function calling itself. I find it difficult thinking about capitalism as a single function. For me it looks more like running an infinite loop on finite resources. But applying a technical term as a metaphor leaves a lot of room for interpretation, so there is no right or wrong
Not to be pedantic, and I do appreciate the humor, but that’s not recursion either :3 Recursion doesn’t need to be endless. Recursive functions can absolutely have logical termination.
For anyone who opened this link in the GitHub mobile app and got confused, make sure to read from the very beginning of the comment thread - the mobile app only shows the very last comments, which cuts out the actual interesting part.
Thanks for the notice! Did not know Microslop does that on the mobile render.

Computer users are stupider every day. The internet was a mistake, or at least we should have required some kind of license to access it.

And they say that LLMs are going to replace humans and programmers.
In fairness, this isn’t an LLM issue, but a poorly made bot issue. An old fashioned bot would be equally vulnerable to doing it, assuming it isn’t one.
To be fair, LLMs can repost the same crap much faster than my tired
furryhuman operator hands can.
So it’s stuck in a loop but also can hide replies coming from any source but itself.
Awesome job there, Gemini programmers.
