#danielstenberg — Public Fediverse posts

Most people try to build one “perfect” project.

I’m doing 100, inspired by Visakan Veerasamy "do 100 things" (https://makingmeaning.in/article/do-100-things?utm_source=chatgpt.com)

This curl source code explorer is one rep—vibe coded, imperfect, but sharper than the last.

The goal isn’t the tool.
It’s pattern recognition.

Do the reps → stop optimizing outputs
and start understanding systems.

This little crusade that #DanielStenberg is on trying to name and shame car companies (or any company for that matter) for not buying or paying for support for either #curl or #libcurl is pathetic and passive aggressive.

You chose the license so you can't get all pissy when companies abide by your license!

Daniel Stenberg: Death by a thousand slops. “The general trend so far in 2025 has been way more AI slop than ever before (about 20% of all submissions) as we have averaged in about two security report submissions per week. In early July, about 5% of the submissions in 2025 had turned out to be genuine vulnerabilities. The valid-rate has decreased significantly compared to previous years.”

Ars Technica: Open source project curl is sick of users submitting “AI slop” vulnerabilities. “‘A threshold has been reached. We are effectively being DDoSed. If we could, we would charge them for this waste of our time,’ wrote Daniel Stenberg, original author and lead of the curl project, on LinkedIn this week.”

The I in LLM stands for intelligence | …excellent post by the Curl guy re: LLMs and Credibility

For some reason nobody writing alarmist “Artificial Intelligence Is A National Security Issue…” content mentions “…because it can make lazy / crazy people seem credible…” as an issue, presumably for fear that politicians consider that a feature, not a bug.

In this particular report, the user helpfully told us that they used Bard to find this issue. Bard being a Google generative AI thing. It made it easier for us to realize the craziness, close the report and move on. As can be seen in the report log, we did have to not spend much time on researching this.
