Jeff GeerlingOpen 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

Open Source security in spite of AI - Daniel Stenberg
Leminski@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.
Skyglobe@geerlingguy and it's getting worse:

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.
FossThought@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..
Lou Cyx@geerlingguy is not even good "yet" implies a mythical moment in the future in which it will be good. It will never be good.
四@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. :)
Rome0@geerlingguy Hi Jeff, any thoughts on moving away from YouTube and into #PeerTube?

@geerlingguy #OpenSource is in big trouble: https://malus.sh
Henry Coggins@giorgiolucas @geerlingguy it took me a while to realize this website is satire
@hcoggins @geerlingguy I'm having trouble to understand that satire. Could you clarify? :)
Chase@giorgiolucas @geerlingguy I'm still not sure if this is real. The website is absolutely unhinged, at least the few parts that actually work. The vast majority are dead links
