I have seen a lot of these Github repositories that accept anything showing up on HN. My favourite one of late was the crowdsourced homepage for a guy named Rob Ashton: <a href="https://github.com/robashton/crowdsourcedhomepage" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/robashton/crowdsourcedhomepage</a> - Definitely one of the weirder trends in development lately I have seen.
The bot is in a state of emergency, it has reached Github's API rate limit and can't do anything.<p>Please send a message to Github support telling them why we need the rate limit lifted for the botwillacceptanything account!

This version of the README file references the original author, original project name, and talks about DACs, and even includes references to Bitcoin and the Ethereum project:<p><a href="https://github.com/botwillacceptanything/botwillacceptanything/blob/7382cd09ca8f540bda7cea551a46bc53a75d6f22/README.md" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/botwillacceptanything/botwillacceptanythi...</a>
What server/platform is the code actually running on? I fail to see how the license can apply, unless there is no server owned by a human entity running the code, and there is no mention of how that works.
I hope it pulls a change to allow it and other instances to vote on changes based on novelty, and of course, vote on whether or not other instances should be able to pull vote capabilities.
One of the first things that come to mind would be to add the ability to shell out and run npm, so people could add dependancies.<p>Then of course, I would add a backdoor that allows me to update running code without involving github. Might want to try to break out of whatever chroot is going on and subvert the image.<p>I'd suggest an out-of-band once a day full image restore.
Someone should add the ability for it to create new bots, that write new code and submit change requests back to it's original master bot.<p>At some point it becomes skynet. daa-daa-dun-dun-dun....
This is really cool. I've been participating and its interesting... right now its "coming alive" and still has no useful feature, but soon....
