banning AI from PRs because you're swamped with too many low quality PRs, definitely. We pretty much are doing this with SQLAlchemy. If I'm going to have a small fix or improvement coded by an LLM (which I do all the time), I want to prompt the LLM directly, rather than having someone trying to pad their resume forward my communications onto their LLM via PRs. What's the point of that?

Which is why LLM PRs should just be issues (if there isn’t one already). Make the issue author a co-author on the PR. But let the maintainer actually oversee the LLM generated solution.

I don't see how this will survive the attacker/defender gap as ls get increasingly good at cyber security and finding 0 days... but maybe it's an obscure enough is it doesn't matter?

I'm assuming they still use AI to find vulnerabilities, just not fix them?

Probably because pop_os and Cosmic are so niche and their market share so low, that they're irrelevant to attackers and bad actors, when those now have much bigger fish to fry.

I think even on HN pop_os is s niche, let alone amongst normies.

I had a PR in flight that got closed because of this. I had an issue with passwords in the network applet for the VPN and had used Claude to help me identify and then come up with a fix. I did spend a lot time handcrafting and making sure the quality was good, but I respect their decision and no hard feelings, but as someone who have struggled to find time and opportunity to contribute to open source it was a small set back.
