Open source maintainers already had enough to worry about before the ongoing agentic AI revolution... my thoughts on recent AI-induced problems in open source development: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZJ7A1QoUEI

@geerlingguy I'm trying to promote anti-AI at work. I will bring up damage to Open Source, I think I will find myself next to alone on it.

@geerlingguy and it's getting worse:

Kevin Beaumont (@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social)

Today in InfoSec Job Security News: I was looking into an obvious ../.. vulnerability introduced into a major web framework today, and it was committed by username Claude on GitHub. Vibe coded, basically. So I started looking through Claude commits on GitHub, there’s over 2m of them and it’s about 5% of all open source code this month. https://github.com/search?q=author%3Aclaude&type=commits&s=author-date&o=desc As I looked through the code I saw the same class of vulns being introduced over, and over, again - several a minute.

@geerlingguy AI slop feels like the new spam. Kind of like how in the early 2000's, spam was everywhere. Nobody wanted it, it still persisted, so we developed spam filters. Now we need AI filters... Yay..

@geerlingguy is not even good "yet" implies a mythical moment in the future in which it will be good. It will never be good.

@geerlingguy A lot of open source is also unmaintained. I can only imagine the horrors of low effort random forks all over the place

If you couldn’t have written it yourself. Don’t use AI. If you can’t read and understand the code (and architecture) that the AI generated. Delete it and learn and write it yourself.

That’s my take.

@geerlingguy Hi Jeff, any thoughts on moving away from YouTube and into #PeerTube?

[aurochs@todon.eu]

@romion00bie @geerlingguy Or using peertube without leaving YouTube.
