An awesome well thought out and detailed way to approach using AI assisted coding agents to give back to open source projects in a way that is pro-social. The key - start small and participate! Great advice.

What We're No Longer Seeing: AI and the Invisible Newcomer in Open Source ~ Mara Averick

This is a great quick read thinking about what the impact on open source software communities has been and will be when contributing code is easier but also less necessary. Helpful as a mirror to think about my own engagement with open source in the past and moving forward. How can I be a more intentional and productive contributor, not just a consumer?
This is bad. I use open models all the time - for simple coding, chores, and sensitive data. The open models are really good and super efficient. This move to squash them with regulation instead of competition is the proof. Innovation should be done in the open, like with OSS.
