Yes, people and companies should step up.

No, the answer isn't replacing the test suite with nonfunctional slop and running it as root.

It's all so amateurish and bizzare that my first thought was that someone stole the maintainer's account. I guess nobody's immune to the siren call of the slot machine.

It's unjustifiable bullshit.

It feels like someone being overwhelmed/exhausted to the point of saying "fuck it, I don't care anymore" and afterwards rationalising the use of LLMs as the only way they can keep up, while simultaneously falling for it's addiction. It does demonstrate why relying on one-man projects without chipping in is risky. Unfortunately the companies that rely on it are probably also captured by the bubble so they won't think so.
