4K stargazers in a week.

Stars have long ceased to have any meaning since they can be both automated and bought.

Just look at Garry Tans ai slop prompts which got 60k stars in a few weeks.

main indeed has two commits, but it clearly states the location of the rest of the commits, so I wouldn't be critical of main itself.

  hey claude, do a breakthrough

Now we see https://github.com/malisper/pgrust/tree/v0.2 has almost 6000 commits in it, with the very first one on 2026-07-02. That's a lot of token momentum!

It's easy to claim AI slop nowadays, but you should still mistrust-but-verify.

What's the reason for it? Does not make a lot of sense to keep all the commits elsewhere

It's a reference to the prompt that found a counterexample to the Dinitz-Garg-Goemans conjecture

What do we mean by "easy to claim"? It is written by AI. The 6000 commits are by Claude.
