PS3 Emulator RPCS3 Bans Autonomous AI Agents from Project After Flood of AI-Generated PRs — 164 Points on HN

Kotaku / Neowin / Hacker News·medium signal

The RPCS3 team publicly requested contributors to 'stop submitting AI slop code pull requests' and updated project guidelines to ban autonomous AI agents from interacting with their repository. Contributors must now fully own and understand all submitted code — even if AI was used for research — and all GitHub communication must come from the human contributor, not an AI agent. This follows a pattern: open-source maintainers are drowning in untested AI-generated submissions that waste review time and occasionally break merged functionality.
