Open source isn’t free. We’re just not paying for it: Who maintains the maintainers?
A lot of things don’t add up in the world of software. The skills gap remains stubbornly wide, with IT and data skills the hardest to recruit for five consecutive years. Yet, at the same time, entry level roles are declining as employers redeploy existing employees rather than hiring new ones.

Open Source Endowment — World's First Endowment Fund for OSS

👥 This isn't just open source for show. Nearly 1M developers told the #Warp team: "If you open this up, we will help you build it." Five years after the initial preview — and with a working business model in place — they finally made it happen. #opensource

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.

Are governments abdicating their duty to the digital commons? And no, this isn't another "pay up" post. The solution is bigger than money.
