I keep repeating it to my dog.
Open source has a brittle business model. It grew fast but it can also collapse fast.
People should be aware of that. Don’t take the “random person in Nebraska” for granted.

Watering it down to “Quality Selection and Entry into Open Source in the Age of AI” would have been a disservice to readers
We need more work on the empirical calibration, but the key assumption theta > sigma holds for sure.
Our model is based on the Melitz model. We realized it captures the relevant mechanisms best
Theory is not a way to capture one particular mechanism with math. It is a coherent way of thinking about how the mechs interact.
1. how much can we learn from an economic model
2. what is our responsibility in giving paper titles
I agree these are important and non trivial questions. We have grappled with them both.
My views, may not be fully shared by coauthors:
But: How do you teach programming without using programming languages?
Would be curious to see a vibe coding first curriculum.
We also speculate on what alternative business models can help.
Vibe Coding Kills Open Source Unless We Make Drastical Changes would be accurate, though.

The only condition needed is that ai-assisted usage and direct usage of the *same* software package are closer substitutes than different packages. We are sure this holds (though plan to do more data work to confirm), that’s why we opted for the strong title.

"Now let me deploy and test"
I could imagine a thought process of "no large RDBMS needed" but, I mean, it has "SQL" in the name.
Looks like it was trained on Medium/LinkedIn bullshit but I told it in no uncertain terms that this does not pass with me.

I made a similar point in a talk some years ago (github.com/korenmiklos/...)
Users don't need chatbots. They need to seamlessly integrate AI into their workflows to minimize their pain. If Google doesn't understand this, they are in trouble.
