#32I think this is a fair and normal reaction to AI slop. Alot of work though. I think OSS projects are at serious risk of implosion due to the vigilance required which honestly may end up being a fool's errand anyway. But maybe we are thinking about it backward. Have you ever wondered why there is so much "free software"? Beware of strangers bearing gifts. I have always wondered and been suspicious of people who are so…
I strongly disagree with this. The free (as in both freedom and as in free beer) software movement was to provide an alternative to proprietary and closed-source software, which is developed by people and corporations who are openly in it for themselves.
> Like 10-100 bucks per PR to cover the cost of the extra vigilance. Also I could see migrations away from github, to AI free dependency hosting or something like that. Its an interesting challenge. But its not insurmountable.
You could just leave your project where it's at, keep it open source, and simply not accept outside contributions. Lots of open source software operates this way. The Ladybird browser notably switched to this model recently as a reaction to AI pull requests.

#33This is completely infeasible in the age of mythos. The reality is that the velocity is just not going to feasible from a security PoV without leveraging these tools.

You mean aside from previous work it was trained on?
But other than that, totally dependency free!

> It's nicely symmetrical, because conversely I prefer my LLM-generated code to have no dependencies. How do you get your code to the point where it has no dependencies? How do you do any sort of database writing without a library, or web access without sockets from an os library? What sort of code has no dependencies? I'm now very curious as I can't see how you can do anything without altest including the std lib fr…

Analysing codebases with LLMs to find security vulnerabilities is completely unrelated to committing code generated with LLMs

Write assembly to do the syscall instruction with whatever params you need.

#40funny enough if you spent just a few minutes with a LLM working on the design of your website it wouldn't look like complete shit.
