This points to a growing structural challenge in the generative AI era, where the sheer volume of AI-generated patches breaks the traditional open-source proxy of &ldquo;effort equals good faith&rdquo;.</p> <h2 id="posts">Posts<a class="anchor" href="#posts">#</a></h2> <p><strong><a href="https://simonwillison.net/2026/Jun/5/andreas-kling/#atom-everything">Quoting Andreas Kling</a></strong> Simon shares a striking quote from Andreas Kling regarding the Ladybird browser project&rsquo;s decision to halt public pull requests. Kling notes that LLMs and generative AI have decoupled the size of a patch from the effort required to create it, effectively destroying the assumption that large patches automatically represent good-faith contributions. The core takeaway here is that as AI reshapes coding workflows, open-source projects must shift their focus entirely to strict human accountability—ensuring that the people introducing changes are fully responsible for the consequences of that code entering the project.</p>
