When you hear people abandoning Open Source because of the AI exploit threat, ask them if we should keep our laws secret as well.

Because there is a huge industry of accountants and lawyers specialized in finding exploits in those.

No? Thought so.

@icing Don't give them ideas!

@icing what should the people who are abandoning Open Source because they don't want their work being exploited by the LLM companies be asked?

@petko That is not the motivation I talk about. The exploitation of our culture by AI companies is a serious matter, but another topic.

If you rather close your source than let AI companies steal it, that is your choice and your freedom.

@icing @buherator But fuzzers, CodeQL, joern, etc. are fine 🙊

@buherator @icing so far I've come across two examples, one being the UK NHS. know of any others?

@icing I only hear people abandoning FLOSS because they don't want to deal with a tidal wave of slop to review, and it's just the last straw in a long line of other issues that people have to confront.

FLOSS should, mostly, be fun, if we are going to contribute in time, community, and code.

Working through a large slopped PR only to discover that:
- there was no human at the other end
- nobody actually understands what the code does
- there's no likelihood of encouraging another person to *become* a committer either

Kinda feels like a waste of time to me.

@dch We just told today a submitter of AI slopped PR to either make another, human one or go away.

I think people will need to develop resilience to this stuff. Sadly, but as you said it's supposed to be fun and you do not have to tolerate these people.
