Looks to me that the issue is with the PR process, not with open-source.

From the article -

> It's gotten so bad, GitHub added a feature to disable Pull Requests entirely. Pull Requests are the fundamental thing that made GitHub popular. And now we'll see that feature closed off in more and more repos.

I don't have a solution for this, I'm pointing to the flaw in the assumption that AI is destroying open-source.

The solution is forking. Make a fork, update it to your heart's content. If it is found to be solid later, perhaps it will be studied and forked itself.

Now every contributor has a fork. That's bad for consumers. Forks should be temporary.

Yeah, been thinking that we should let the LLMs run riot on special AI branches— or heck, maybe Microsoft can buy/create AIGitHub.com.

		But that's already true. Github lets people make a fork and have their AI run riot on it. What are you really suggesting if not the status quo?
