    Agents replaced open source? An Agent is an actor and open source is an artifact. An actor can't replace an artifact.

    Opensource is defined by it's licensing terms and the community around it.

      Licensing terms that are now irrelevant, since anyone can use AI to rewrite it without the license.

      > the community around it.

      Open source communities are dying due to AI spam.

        They're luddites refusing to get with the times

          What does "getting with the times even mean" at this point? Just bending over and taking on all the griefing and bullying?

          Btw luddites are the reason you're not slaving away at a factory.
