How mature is this repository? My long quest for open-source software metrics
When I discover an open-source software project for the first time, how can I estimate whether it is mature, healthy and usable?
I just released OSSTRL - Open Source Software Technology Readiness Level to help me calculating the maturity of open-source projects.

Okay, I'll give you that: LLMs aren't the root of the problem.
Capitalism is. The idea of infinite growth. The idea that people can't just live, they must with 40 hours a week to justify their existence, and they must be purchasing something all the time. Companies must keep selling new stuff. All the resources must be tapped into and exploited.
And companies are making software. They must keep selling new features and pointless complete redesigns nobody wanted. The code must keep being churned over and over again. Programmers must justify their existence by churning out absurd amounts of meaningless code. The companies must exploit them.
Then, companies are entering the #OpenSource "market". They are acquiring and enshittifying. They are hiring and exploiting. And then so many volunteers just jump on the bandwagon and keep cosplaying them. And they too churn out useless code, "sell" pointless complete makeovers, "profit" off their users (even if they actually aren't making any real profit).
And then come LLMs, perfect tools for the job. Perfect tools for exploitation, for churning out useless code, for creating addiction, and for turning everyone into mindless corpospeak bullshit machines.

So organisations/companies realize that the topmodels are way too expensive for 80-90% of the things they want to use AI for. So they will move to cheaper models/versions, opensource models, on premis etc. At the same time OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI need more revenue to cover their outrageous costs/investments. How will they solve this? Just with big defense/government contracts?

Content warning: LLM, negative, loss of trust
Some people think that #LLM usage costs rising will start undoing some of the harm caused by the #AI hype. I don't think that's really going to help that much.
I'm not even talking about all the projects that were ensloppified and enshittified already. I'm not talking about all the technical debt. I'm not talking about all the forks that will have to be maintained forever. I'm not talking of all the projects that were abandoned because of burnout, or because they were only hype-oriented. And I'm not talking about all the corporations that will continue submitting slop.
I'm talking about the loss of trust. After all, we're not talking of people who realized they were wrong and are sorry. We're not talking of people realizing that it was wrong to forfeit ethics and morals in the name of "productivity". We're talking of people who are jumping ships because their previous approach turned out not to be profitable anymore. We're talking of gamblers who left the casino because they went broke. They aren't sorry that they gambled; they are sorry that they've lost. And they'd be happy to do it again at the nearest opportunity.
So, I'm sorry to say, but #FreeSoftware is never going to be the same again. A lot of people have shown their true colors, and I won't forget that.

vulnerability-lookup 6.0 will be released this week with many (really, many!) new features.
One of the smaller, but important, additions is support for multiple SSVC views alongside CVSS. When SSVC information is available from an ADP (such as CISA) , or from additional sources such as GCVE, it is now displayed by default.
This allows users to more easily compare the different severity and prioritization assessments associated with a vulnerability.
The CIRCL vulnerability-lookup instance is running the pre-release of 6.0 -

From a research paper to running open-source code in just a few days.
We (with @…) have been experimenting in Vulnerability-Lookup with the concept of Local Exploit Hazard, based on the recent research paper “Modeling Local Exploit Hazard — A Bayesian Framework for Quantifying Exploit Risk and Operational Efficiency” by Stephen Shaffer and Laura Cristiana Voicu.
The idea addresses an important question in vulnerability management:
Not simply “How dangerous is this vulnerability globally?” but “How much exploitation risk does this vulnerability represent in my environment?”
Instead of introducing yet another static vulnerability score, the model starts from exploit likelihood such as EPSS and combines it with local security controls, CVSS attack vectors, vulnerability age and KEV policy to estimate an exploitation hazard.
We implemented an experimental version in Vulnerability-Lookup and connected it directly to operational workflows.
