I've seen themes of people talking about how AI slop is causing a lot of demoralization and inefficiencies in open source and is ultimately disincentivizing contributors and communities to stick around (e.g. most recently saw news of Jazzband shutting down). Wondering if anyone's been thinking about or has already started collaborative groups organized around advocating for systemic ways to mitigate the negative impacts, e.g. petitions, conversations with relevant stakeholders, etc? #opensource

After more than 10 years, @jazzband is sunsetting.

I started it in 2015 because maintaining Open Source alone was exhausting. The idea was simple: shared access, shared responsibility. It's been an honor to watch it grow: 3,135 members, 84 projects, and a lot of code shipped together.
