Open Source is so fucked

@tante back in the day my blogs would get commen bombed with what was obviously bots, but because they didn't fit the definition of a DDoS, it wasn't treated as such. this is the same DDoS but instead of bots, they're now called AI.
@tante it's only a consequence of fucked up IAs. Why insult open-source when the problem is IA?
@tante Developer never cared for security.
Even in my company, i had to push to the CEO, to change the rules to force their hand.
@tante You know humans have been sending garbage patches too since time immemorial, the sky isn't falling any more than it has been ten years ago.
These commits don't go in the tree until someone reviews them, if it's that bad they will get the boot and before long the bot will get the boot.
@tante @GossiTheDog …I would wager a dollar closed source is just as, if not more fucked.
@tante No need to tell this to you personally, but for those who need to hear it: Accepting slop is a choice. Responsible maintainers reject vibe-coded commits outright, review the rest thoroughly and generally move slow and fix things. Fast forward a few years, and this will make the difference between building something nice and drowning in chaos.
