Basic open-source Android apps have felt outdated for years, and the GrapheneOS team is finally stepping in to fix the problem. The developers are shifting resources to completely replace clunky default software with modern tools built from the ground up.
From recent posts on the Fediverse I’m afraid their slopping these apps …
What posts?
In the announcement threaded, they replied they us AI code analysis and code review tools to review security.
I hate AI, absolutely. without question.
however, code reviews and security reviews are in the top 5 acceptable uses for an LLM.
why? because I can’t be bothered to read the newbies 10k lines of changes for a CSS rule change.
do I review the review? absolutely! does it make any changes to the code? absolutely NOT.
Another thing to keep in mind is ai is what people are going to be using to try to find vulnerabilities in the software so using it to beat them to the punch is just good development practices.
It still goes through a human before it’s pushed to the repo. That’s very different thing than “slop”. Slopcode is generating the actual app code via claude or whatever and shipping it as-is.
