I really wonder what will become of these systems once AI agents start intervening en masse - sending patches and the like.-

View on HN

they get accepted or rejected, updating ports/packets would be a wonderful AI job, check newest version, update port, poudriere the thing, test it, make patch, send to bugtracker.

Maybe the AI can even check "funny" upstream commits like it happens with npm/crate and block that stuff.

But FreeBSD ports is incredible up to date so there should be no flood of patches anyhow.

Indeed. This might be naive but it would be grand if projects could have their own models and compute with which to perform these and other tasks, each trained as per the project's ethos/needs.-

This is way too expensive. Models are an inherently centralizing technology, and there's no future for niche projects that don't make up a big part of the major providers training sets.
