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.

Are governments properly supporting the digital commons? Many adopt open source software but don't fund the upstream projects that maintain it. This amplifies a "tragedy of the commons" rather than being part of the solution. Governments have historically invented ways to shape the playing field - patents, public universities, copyright, taxes ... They can do it again!

Governments need to adopt Matrix responsibly | Anais Concepcion
Are governments abdicating their duty to the digital commons? And no, this isn't another "pay up" post. The solution is bigger than money. Element astutely highlights a troubling pattern: A government adopts open source software, deploys it, and pays nothing to the editors maintaining the upstream project. Upstream editors, receiving no revenue from their largest users, face a rational but painful choice: build proprietary features that force payment, or shut down. I think it's worse than th…
