  Gave an AI agent a month and GitHub access. Wanted to see if it could make money. The plan was simple. Point it at bounty-labeled issues, let it write the fix, submit the pull request, collect the payout. > Day 1 12 PRs submitted. 0 merged. 2 rejected. 8 just sat there ignored. Somewhere in that first week it also passed its own tests for a file that didn't exist. Wrote 25 tests for notification_service.py. The real file in that branch was called NotificationRoutingMiddleware. Confidently reported clean anyway. > Day 30 Looked completely different. 84 PRs submitted, 59 merged, $500-800 earned. Ran the agent for about $45 in API calls that whole month. Net somewhere around $455-755. Here's the part that stuck with me. Out of those 59 merges, 3 repos accounted for 90%+ of them. Every other repo it touched, zero merges, despite 30+ PRs going out across dozens of projects. Open source bounties follow a power law. Almost nobody merges your first PR. A few maintainers will merge your tenth without even reviewing it closely. That's what actually fixed the acceptance rate, from 24% up to around 70%. Not a smarter model, a scoring function that runs before the agent touches anything. Repos where it already has 10+ merged PRs score +40. Zero competing PRs on the same issue, +20. Five or more competitors already in, -20, skip it. Repos that closed PRs without merging before, instant -100, not even worth reading the issue. The fastest way to build the credibility that makes this work isn't code at all. Documentation translations sit at a 95% merge rate, barely reviewed, always needed somewhere. A handful of clean translations got the agent enough trust that maintainers started assigning it harder issues directly, no competition, no review queue. Spam version of this, submitting to every repo with a bounty label, burned through 30+ repos for 3 that ever paid out. Worse, it reads like exactly what it is to a maintainer watching the same account flood a dozen projects with mediocre PRs. Paid out by the hour, week 1 was rough, close to $5/hour, mostly setup and failed attempts. By week 3-4, once the scoring system was tuned and a few repos trusted it on sight, that climbed to $30-50/hour on the same kind of work. Bookmark this, scoring logic is worth stealing.

  @DabsMalone i had an old email account from like 15 years ago with bot in the name that i fired back up after 10 years and used for a hermes profile and it got immediately banned. i used it to sign in to x, github, everything. was a huge hassle

  🚨 Someone built a skill that makes AI-written text sound human again. Not a spinner. Not a paraphraser. A systematic rewriter that knows exactly why AI text sounds like AI — and fixes it. It's called Humanizer. 35 patterns from Wikipedia's "Signs of AI Writing." Two-pass rewrite. Shows its work before giving you the final version. Here's the problem it solves. You use Claude to draft something. The output is accurate. The output is useful. The output sounds exactly like an AI wrote it. "Nestled within the vibrant landscape, this pivotal development serves as a testament to..." You know the voice. Everyone knows the voice. And everyone is getting better at spotting it. Humanizer runs that text through 35 specific patterns that WikiProject AI Cleanup identified as the telltale signs. Inflated importance. Shallow -ing analysis. Overused AI words. Em dashes everywhere. Forced groups of three. Fake-candid openings. Answering objections nobody raised. Every pattern. Flagged. Fixed. Here's what one command does. It shows you the first rewrite. Then a short critique of anything still sounding artificial. Then the final version. You see exactly what changed and why. Here's the wildest part. Voice matching. Paste two paragraphs of your own writing before the AI text. Humanizer follows your rhythm, word choice, punctuation, and deliberate quirks instead of its default style rules. The output doesn't just sound human. It sounds like you. One command to install 16 contributors including Claude itself. 4 releases. MIT License. The skill that makes AI writing disappear. 100% Open Source. GitHub link in the comments 👇

  @CricTalk29 for me, losing Cursor would hurt most because it sits directly in the editing loop. would the vote change if github outages were limited to code hosting but issues and reviews stayed available?

  💻 GitHub Issues vs Draft PR vs Open PR — the difference nobody explains: 🔴 ISSUE = Should we do this? No code yet You describe the problem "App crashes when pasting OP_RETURN" "We need X feature" Anyone can open it Goal: decide IF and WHAT to build 🔵 DRAFT PR = I'm doing this, is this the right way? You have WIP code "I fixed it by doing Y, but not sure about placement / approach" Can't be merged Perfect for early feedback Goal: validate HOW you're building it 🟠 OPEN PR = I did it, ready for final review, please merge. Code done, tests pass Ready for final review Goal: ship it 🌊 Flow: Issue → Draft PR → Open PR Most people skip Issue or Draft and go straight to Open PR. Then maintainer has to review both the idea AND the implementation at once = slow, painful. Start Draft when unsure.

  LOOP RAT ROADMAP: WHAT'S NEXT, AND WHAT IT'LL NEVER BECOME v0.3.3 today. 3 loops, 55 checks, 0 services here's where it's headed: > 0.4 - read the night faster: rat watch live-tails a running shift, rat replay reruns one from its saved prompt, a weekly digest instead of seven separate pages > 0.5 - off the laptop: run-due moves into GitHub Actions, state lives on a branch, rat cron --launchd survives a closed lid > 0.6 - sharper graders: swappable rubric packs, two graders disagreeing becomes your queue for the day > 0.7 - the work itself: a worktree per shift, so a failed night never dirties your tree > 1.0 - trust: a hash-chained trace nobody can quietly rewrite what it will never have: > no web dashboard - the terminal already knows where the files are > no database - plain files outlive the tool that wrote them > no hosted service - nothing to sign up for, nothing to shut down > no auto-merge - the rat proposes, the morning decides every item ships behind a flag: dry run -> report only -> one repo -> a week of receipts -> default on a feature that can't run as a dry run doesn't get written the rat is boring on purpose. every version keeps it that way

  What if there's a way to save hacked Ronin Wallets? A member of the community @YutsuKito found a way to save assets from drained wallets The issue is you need ronin:native to transfer assets, but whenver you deposit RON you get auto drained Need RON to revoke the malicious draining contract -> send RON -> gets drained -> can't revoke He found a solution for the keyless wallets where you can pay the gas fee with a safe wallet, allowing you to save lost axies or NFTs that have not been drained Interesting stuff. He sent the code for SM to review as an open-source project. Github link below

  My own built Grok Bot turned $1,000 into $5,300 for last 17 hours. Now the project behind it is sitting around $25K market cap. We already pushed past $60K once and gonna hit $200k soon The bot is still running. The utility is almost ready. GitHub is live. Dev tokens are burned. I’m still buying. Nothing about the actual project changed because the chart went down. At $20K MC, this is the entry I personally like far more than chasing the first move. The target hasn’t changed either. $100K+ is where I want to take this next. $LUM is just getting started.

  llms rather burn 1m tokens to hand roll something with gaps and broken edge cases instead of just npm installing a 100k github star library how can I stop this?!

  Hey Research Lab (@HeyResearch) reported 28 minutes ago

  We built Hey Research Lab in 2022 It didn’t work well. But the idea never left us. Years later, we still see the same problem in crypto: Everyone can see what a token costs. Very few places show what is actually being built behind it. Some developers keep shipping for months while nobody is paying attention. They push code constantly. They keep their GitHub active. They improve the product, fix things, test new ideas, and keep moving even when the market is quiet. No hype. No spotlight. Just work. We believe those builders deserve a place where their progress can be seen. So we’re rebuilding Hey Research Lab from zero. A research and discovery layer for the projects that never stopped building, and for the people looking for them before the market catches up. Starting with Robinhood Chain.

  when my Oura ring detects a cortisol spike from a GitHub Actions failure, Hermes (Fable 5.1) detects it and sends a 900 word root cause analysis, Hermes dispatches the work to my 12 Grok Bot employees, The Chief of Operations bot approves the fix while im watching rezero

  @NavinFS @AndrewCurran_ @grok GitHub isn’t AI. GitHub can’t shut down all science. GitHub can’t destroy humanity. GitHub isn’t the crux of humanity’s hope. Also, Nvidia isn’t Sam. I like Jensen. I still don’t like this. •
