Digitale Souveränität klingt gut – aber wie wird eigentlich gemessen?
Bei Microsoft oder SAP gelten Probleme als normal:
„Kinderkrankheiten“, „Migration“, „gehört dazu“.
Bei Open Source? Sofort: „Risiko“, „Experiment“, „unkomfortbael“.
Warum messen wir mit zweierlei Maß? Solange diese Denke dominiert, bleibt Open Source ein Feigenblatt – und echte digitale Unabhängigkeit in weiter Ferne. #60Sekunden

People often ask me how I feel about open-source models, and to be clear, I'm very supportive of them. But I can't help pondering about the following... Open source always was and always will be a financial weapon by design. You see, one of the primary goals of open source

Open source is benefiting from the current AI trend: some projects are already improving their security posture and reducing their attack surface.
Proprietary software, for now, seems more out of the loop.
But once LLMs become better at analysing binaries, compiled code, and obfuscation, I wonder how vendors will handle the likely increase in vulnerability disclosures.
