    We're thinking about this too. The overall prize pool was about 6x smaller a week ago so we are still digesting this rapid influx of sponsorship. The grand prize goes to the _first…

    I haven't seen any reports of this, but it's certainly something we want to guard against: https://copilot.github.com/#faq-can-github-copilot-introduce...

    The mitigations you suggest are all logical. However, there are legitimate reasons to run CI and tests for outside contributions without taxing maintainers with the cognitive load …

    Yes. This is just a category of attack whose growth has been incentivized by rising crypto prices. All providers of free compute are experiencing some level of mining attack right …
