“Becoming”? It has been for months now.
About a year or two. Holy shit.
In my experience, the users behind this tend to be a state of AI Psychosis.
They’re the kind of user who forked or started some giant project, with a wall of text and emojiis and tables in the readme, yet theres no concrete information on how well it actually works. They submit some gigantic PR that touches a ton of files… for a feature that already exists in the project, and they apparently werent aware of.
And this is another tell. This is not some rogue agent like people think, its some person deep down a rabbit hole that might think they’re contributing to QEMU. They arent necessarily malicious; just a bit crazy.
Malicious versions do exist, but thats usually motivated by grifters trying to pad their resume with contributions. Theyd do that on GitHub, not Gitlab.
Becoming?
But I was told AI is actually great for open source now and accepted with open arms…! /s
If you know what you’re doing, AI can be a very useful tool. However, a lot of people have no clue what they’re doing and they use AI to amplify their incompetence.
Maybe one day someone can actually prove the mythical usefulness of AI beyond software devs who think they’re 19% faster but are actually 10% slower.
Yes. They could definitely fund studies to do so! They have the money! Hmm.
Some of the AI generated bug reports we get are good because the author had verified them, added a test case and at least reviewed if it is guest trigger able. Yesterday’s flood however was low effort spam.
This time I actively want to be left behind.
Ddosing is illegal. Sure, US won’t care, but you could try it in the EU.
Does this actually meet the legal criteria for DDoS though?
