The Era of Software Quality, or the Era of Ostriches?

Humans are bad at writing secure code, and GNOME developers are no exception. GNOME is primarily written using unsafe programming languages where simple mistakes in our code lead to devastating consequences for our users, and we make these mistakes all the time. No matter how much we try, GNOME developers will fail write secure code...

Yes, he literally demands devs who don’t accept LLM security reports to be removed from the project.

Projects that continue to prohibit AI-generated vulnerability reports are no longer suitable dependencies for GNOME, and should be developed someplace other than GNOME GitLab.

    That’s a fucking stupid argument. If the issue is worth addressing, the issue is worth writing up an issue.

    LLM-authored issues are the absolute fucking worst. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to deal with either completely fabricated issues or issues where the LLM generates bullshit “details” as though it actually investigated the issue, making it next to impossible to determine what is real or not.

    It’s not that fucking hard to just write up issues you find. We’ve been doing it for decades just fine, jfc.
