The linked post contains a whopping lie - "What does it mean for the open source ecosystem that 90% of our open source supply chain can currently be recreated in seconds with today's AI agents"

It can't. Not even close. Please, do show a working clean-room implementation of a major opensource package. (Not left-pad)

We really need to stop hyperventilating and get back to reality.

> Our process is deliberately, provably, almost tediously legal. One set of AI agents analyzes only public documentation: README files, API specifications, type definitions.

since nearly all open source dependencies couple the implementation with type definitions, I'm curious how this could pass the legal bar of the clean room.

Even if they claim to strip the implementation during their clean room process -- their own staff & services have access to the implementation during the stripping process.
