A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

That's correct. I went with OP's original question, what happens after it happened... Not sure what OP meant, they're nowhere in the comments... Maybe they're a bot as well, and we're subject to the very same thing we're talking about, right now...
But sure. All the fabricated pull requests, issue reports etc are massively problematic. We got quite some bot activity. Then we also need to protect our servers and platforms from their crawlers who just DDOS everyone... Documentation went down the drain, StackOverflow, Reddit... The industry is trying to get rid of entry level programmer positions, so you'll have a bad time entering the job market as any programmer... We're just drowned in all that stuff. Supply chains also get affected by AI, people need to choose between using existing libraries, licensing, money... Or replacing it with something the AI generated...
