   @AnarchoNinaWrites a pull request is when i open your project and say "hey, you should add this code into here, please!"

   i take your code, make some change to it, and then "request" that you "pull" my change into your official repo

   so what appears to be happening is a gold rush to trick git maintainers into... blindly pulling a file onto their codebases which declares "JEFF WUZ HERE, JEFF OWNS THIS CODE"?? i can't see a scenario where someone actually just accepts the pull request, though

     I'm literally too much of a tech-illiterate to understand most of the github discourse going on out here but I have read and heard enough to know that grafting AI onto programs that don't need it, collecting fees for other people's work, and turning projects into a crypto-scam after the fact when folks are adopting your open source programs to do legitimate work is wrong, bad, and absolute greedbag donkey headed behavior. That's enough for me to know. Capitalism ruins everything.
