Feels like AI on autopilot running OSS projects is the dream everyone is trying to get to. Tokens will never be free. Anthropic needs to go IPO. You make an interesting point about personal spend, but bad PRs are unlikely to be on purpose. But the discipline to review/clean up the slop might not be there?

True. I personally use LLMs much more ambitiously to help with my own coding projects, but I've always been very disciplined about planning ahead and task breakdown so that the LLMs can get it right the first time so there won't be any need to fix the code afterwards.
Other people's open-sourced project is different though, so I tend to check/test the code myself much more rigorously when contributing to other people's repos than if it is my own projects.
