Andreas Kling on X: "Stages of grief about the effect of AI on open source. Denial: - AI code is slop! Nobody serious will use this. - Open source will keep working exactly like it always has. Anger: - These AI slop PRs are ruining GitHub! - Ban AI-generated code! - If you close PRs, you're not open source anymore! Bargaining: - Okay, AI can write code, but only if a human reviews every line. - Maybe adversarial AI review will make arbitrary external code intake safe again. Depression: - Wait, if code generation is basically free, what is a contribution anymore? - Is GitHub-style open source culture just going away? Acceptance: - Open source is still open source, even if the contribution model evolves. - Good issues, test cases, benchmarks, specifications, and ideas become the scarce inputs. - Upstream may stop accepting arbitrary code while forking becomes much easier. Bonus stage! Reconstruction: - Projects redesign around maintainer-controlled agents, issue-driven development, stronger test/validation infrastructure, and new ways for contributors to earn trust."
