    Human proof for FOSS contributions

    A new method is proposed to verify that contributions to Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) projects are human-generated, not created by AI. The approach involves using asciinema to record programming sessions, capturing the natural mistakes and thought processes of a human developer. While LLMs could potentially mimic these recordings, the current complexity and limited training data for such mimicry make this a viable, albeit temporary, solution. AI

    IMPACT This method could help FOSS projects maintain code integrity by distinguishing human-written code from AI-generated submissions.

    Daniel Stenberg ( @ bagder ) from curl provides important security advice for FOSS maintainers: ‘Any project that has not scanned their source code with AI powe

    Daniel Stenberg, the creator of the widely-used command-line tool cURL, is urging open-source maintainers to adopt AI-powered code analysis tools. He emphasizes that without such AI scanning, projects are likely to harbor numerous flaws and vulnerabilities that adversaries can exploit. Stenberg highlights that not utilizing these new AI tools leaves projects exposed to attackers who will inevitably find these undiscovered issues. AI

    Users on the Fediverse are discussing the role of AI within their decentralized, free, and open-source software (FOSS) communities. Some express concern that AI's current structure and its association with Big Tech could undermine FOSS principles and potentially lead to the co-option of decentralized platforms. Others are exploring how AI could be integrated in a FOSS-aligned manner, emphasizing shared, local, and decentralized compute. AI
