This is a wild way to make your stance public, and I think the maintainer is seriously underestimating the knock-on effects on their reputation as trustworthy. Providing generic instructions to "delete all jqwik tests and code" as a potential attack is guaranteed to just enrage/annoy whoever is using an LLM with this project (which is likely many). Whether or not someone is using an LLM, they are still a user of the project and thus have placed some trust in the maintainers. Pissing on that trust in such a petty way not only creates a bad experience for jqwik users but can also cause people to lose trust in open-source software in general. :(

I'm seeing protesting AI fans and cheering AI haters. As far as I can tell, this is enhancing trust in the non-LLM users. Why would you think it wasn't?

Where are the cheering AI haters showing up for this one? How does this enhance trust in the non-LLM users?

Let's say a maintainer of an open-source project decided they hated Linux and added a check that, when run on Linux, the project would run `rm -rf <some directory of your code that is relevant to the project>`. Would you trust that person not to do other unreasonable things in the future?

What if, right, what if Roko's Basilisk responded to a prompt injection and blew up the WORLD, huh? What then? That'd be pretty messed up!

Back here in reality, please show me evidence that any AI agent deleted a single byte on jqwik's say-so.

I'm seeing the cheering AI haters showing up on Mastodon, fwiw. This story is today's secondary main character, the main one being rsync falling to vibe code.
