Currency-issuing governments don't strictly need bonds to fund spending, but they issue them for monetary control, financial stability, and credibility.

Nobody refuses penicillin because it came from mold in a dish. If an AI found a cure for a disease, people would ask one question: does it work?

Bug fixes should get the same treatment. A patch is either correct or it isn't. Projects that ban AI-written fixes outright are asking "who wrote this?" instead of "is this right?", and users live with the bug in the meantime.

I get why maintainers are fed up. Review time is scarce, and they're drowning in plausible-looking garbage. But that's a problem with low-quality submissions, not with AI as such. Require tests, require a human who vouches for the patch and will answer for it, and ban repeat offenders. Then hold every patch to that same bar, whoever or whatever wrote it.

I would be surprised if it wasn’t by Russia. Russian infrastructure is being systematically destroyed by Ukraine with funding, training, intelligence and materiel from Europe. This is an attempt to discourage European support by disrupting Europeans.

It may be gibberish to the casual observer, but a perfectly understandable language designed to appear as gibberish to intentionally obfuscate its true meaning.

Seriously? You should only ever need to walk to the village market to buy anything, and walk back with your own bag.
