This article is an interesting counterpoint to the constant news about open source projects getting inundated with low quality AI contributions.

Nanoclaw, open source software and search optimization

Sometimes when an open source project goes viral, domain squatters will jump in and buy up domains around that project. It is potentially lucrative and especially in the age of generative AI, it takes virtually no time or effort. An AI assistant called Nanoclaw is caught up in this right now. And while domain squatting is not usually that interesting, in this case the sheer amount of power AI assistants can get makes this a potentially interesting attack surface.
