I'm reminded of the old Usenet responses to people claiming to solve the spam problem, so I can't help myself: Your solution advocates a ( ) technical (X) social ( ) policy-based ( ) forge-based approach to solving AI-generated pull requests to open source projects. Your idea will not work. Here is why it won't work. (One or more of the following may apply to your particular idea, and it may have other flaws.) ( ) PR…

Almost certainly referring to a software forge: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forge_(software)

I will never contribute to a project that runs on this sort of ridiculous popularity contest system.

Hint: every software project at every company runs on this sort of ridiculous popularity contest system, the rules of the game are just not publicized.

Yeah but I get paid for that.

That's the whole point. There are many new adopters and few competent ones.

I mean to well meaning contributors, I understand the goal of vouch, I think it goes too far and you'll turn off said well meaning contributors I certainly have dropped off when projects have burdensome rules, even before ai slop fest

These projects would rather miss out on a few good people to stop the bad ones over the alternative.

And...that's bad?

Not until you are wrongly considered "untrusted".

It is never wrong to be considered untrusted. It is only occasionally right to be considered trusted. Especially in zero-risk relationships that is the default on the anonymous internet.

>First you have to make it low-friction. If I want Joe Average to send me $1 in cryptocurrency, how is he getting $1 in cryptocurrency to send me? Absolutely. You're 1000% correct. Cryptocurrency is way too high friction for stuff like that.

All the setup is no worse than setting up a bank account And technically it can be avoided through back channels if you know someone who already has it - can just pay them cash or whatever and they can send crypto to you Crypto is very easy to transfer once you have a wallet Its the exchange to/from real world currency where the friction is.

I don't like this idea but the people unable to afford $1 don't have time to propose PR

I'm glad that you are lucky enough to never have had to choose between filling your gas tank or eating. It's sadly the state many people live in.

You're right, I'm fortunate enough to not have this experience. But not only both food and gas are much more than 1€, but also people in this situation are too focused on finding a way to make money to care about submitting merge requests

I think its crazy that a single person thinks so much of themselves to create this under their name

Its a personal project? Do you truly believe that individuals are required to have the foresight into how their project will get adopted or viewed by the community that it would require them to create a separate github account to host it under?
