"FOSS maintainers are unpaid and don't have the resources to manage large open source projects, they _have_ to use AI to get anything done."
I've seen this take a couple of times in recent weeks, and I've got two things to say about it:
1. We've been able to manage large open source projects for decades in the past, without LLMs.
2. Ever thought about how there may be a connection between "FOSS is unpaid" and capitalism producing trillion-dollar AI companies and more and more billionaires?
