What a peculiar social experiment and "street art" project! It's nice that proposals should be backed by actual code patches. I imagine the bar could have been much lower, where users only contribute ideas, but the code is generated by a gen-AI agent. It probably would have become a disaster in no time.
My prediction: any such project with little governance, no concrete objective, and sufficiently long exposure to Internet trolls will eventually end up rickrolling (-:
Alternatively, it could evolve objectives! Although I guess it is at disadvantage compared to Nomic, which starts with some notion of winning the game (even if it usually gets changed).
Perhaps unsurprised to see a rust rewrite near the top :)
Although I will say, that one is failing CI. I feel like PRs should have to pass CI to be eligible, but I guess we'll have to vote on whether that should be a rule!
The README at https://github.com/skridlevsky/openchaos/blob/main/README.md says "CI must pass: If the build fails, the PR is not eligible". I'm not sure if that is enforced by code or manually?
It seems to be manual, the repository owner has been sharing build logs from Vercel in the Rust PR to help out the author.
