Think about it. Anthropic just reported that their codebase is now improving itself. We're moments away from every open source repo being able to do the same. Think of it like torrenting — you'll be able to open your repo to the public, and have a stream of code flow in from millions of contributors. More code than you could ever write in ten lifetimes, uploaded to your repository in a matter of days.
Ladybird doesn't know it yet, but they just left themselves in the dust.

Every idea can seem quite nice if you only imagine the good parts, gloss over the nitty-gritty and ignore the bad.
Is your point that Anthropic is now accepting code submissions to Opus 5.0 from “millions of contributors”? No?
Ladybird uses AI to code. This is not them banning AI. This is them not wanting to take responsibility for the code WE write with AI. They think outside code contributions are raising their risk and slowing them down.
I dislike this change but it does not track to what you are saying at all.
Like always with Open Source, if you really believe what you are saying, fork the project. Outrun them if you can.

why would you want this. this sounds terrible

I wonder if any of you AI boosters have any actual knowledge of how software is written, why bugs exist and how to mitigate tech debt. I wonder if you guys even know what tech debt is.
Somehow it’s always very young accounts which made me wonder if I’m talking to exuberant teenagers or people that have done a one week Python code camp 10 years ago and now think they’re John Carmack with their Claude subscription.
