RPCS3 emulator bans autonomous AI agents from project after PR flood.
Story
The PS3 emulator team publicly requested contributors stop submitting "AI slop code pull requests" and updated guidelines: all code must be human-owned and understood, all GitHub communication from the human contributor. At 164 HN points, this pattern of open-source maintainers drowning in untested AI submissions is becoming a real governance problem.
