I would hardly call the requirement to understand the code you push "gatekeeping".

#24> Slop kiddies found the only hypervisor bug left, which I had also found a while ago, and decided to report to Sony,” the modder said on social media. “I asked them to at least wait for GTA 6 to come out so that people would have the opportunity to legally purchase the game and also enjoy linux. They agreed to wait, but not a day passed and they decided to waste it instead.”
So what has really happened is the LLMs have lowered the participation floor for this space enough the dynamics are changing. The new comers would rather have a few dollars vs. the founders who would rather have a project. It’s likely the projects days were numbered either way because Sony could also just take a frontier LLM and examine any released installer for the project and reverse engineer and bug.

It has been a week of you on this site and you haven't even bought a mirror. I'm sure you do realise you're talking about yourself?
Is the “power of the community” to narc on themselves to the corporations that they are building their community around, only to have the corporations destroy the community’s efforts?
Because that’s what happened here. This isn’t a case of gatekeepers self selecting out.
This is a case of slop kiddies making it impossible for him to continue to do his work by reporting it to Sony for personal profit and having them lock down the exploits he was using.
If that’s the power of the community, if that is the future, then he is right and you are wrong.
This is not a case of a gatekeeper slowing down development. This is a case of the slop kids making it fucking impossible to continue development.
This is the worst outcome and your brain is so cooked by AI that you’re seeing it as the opposite.
Where is the AI generated Linux kernel for PS5?
What lockdown corporate product have the slop coders managed to put Linux on? Anybody vibe cracked an oculus headset or Apple Vision Pro or the Xbox?
Some individual profited and the community ended up with less.

#26remember hacktoberfest 2020? that's just all public-facing source 365 days a year now, except instead of "updated README.md" it's some vaguely-plausible fix... then you read the PR body and someone couldn't even be bothered to, or, just as likely couldn't explain it themselves. and that sort of sinking dread sets in.

#27The headline here is off, PS5 Linux relies on bugs for installs, and the project couldn’t keep the last know hypervisor bug secret: > Slop kiddies found the only hypervisor bug left, which I had also found a while ago, and decided to report to Sony,” the modder said on social media. “I asked them to at least wait for GTA 6 to come out so that people would have the opportunity to legally purchase the game and also enj…

You shouldn't, unless you're producing a bunch of code you don't understand.

Nothing misleading about the title and you are splitting hairs.
Vibecoding has been the norm for months, it's the embargo violation today that triggered his resignation.
