Anyone else suspect commercial game engine are doing this to attack their FOSS (free open source software) competitor?
Unlike other engines Godot asks nothing of its users. No money, no tie in to their sales platform. It's literally just good free software anyone is invited to try.
Sad to see it dealing with this. FOSS may be under a kind of intentional AI attack.
yes, exactly my thoughts. what if the AI-slop pull request onslaught is a way of the feudalists to weaken the FOSS community and on the long run make themselves irreplaceable? seems to be happening to a lot of maintainers
Hanlons razor.. probably just lots and lots of peaple + stupidity. But it could very well be both..
