I've always thought it was a bit ironic that git was designed to be perfectly decentralized, only to have Github become the one centralized way one uses git (for many people, at any rate).
But this post makes a good point: the centralization also means that it functions as a reliable archive. If a popular open source project spins up its own git server, and then later goes mostly defunct -- or least, the git server goes away -- the code is pretty much gone. But with git…

Because we bet future tech won't learn more than we can right now. We bet progress slows from here.
But with AI, we bet the opposite. We bet it speeds up AND slows down at the same time.
Which eternity do we actually value? Our own or everyone's?

RE: https://dice.camp/@realms/116459545804565917
I'd argue that "AI"-based development creates a bigger attack surface on closed source/proprietary software than open source software:
1. It's more likely that internal software development uses LLMs as they're most affordable to companies; leaving them more vulnerable to prompt injection and other types of attacks targeting LLM use.
2. It's more likely that internal commits aren't vetted as much (or even purely vibe-coded) as ones in open source projects.
3. It's more likely that attacks on open source projects are discovered quicker.
Also a reminder that the "Mythos" thing—like all the other doomerist things coming out of "AI" companies—is a marketing stunt to get Anthropic free press coverage.
