Dear #Business. Here's a reminder to you who rely on #OpenSource in your software and services.
Your digital infrastructure is cheap because you CAN get it for almost no cost.
How cheap?

It feels like the open source world is fracturing. It used to be if we wanted alternatives to commercial software we could look to open source, but so much of open source software today is using AI.
Sure, some maintainers are saying "I only use it to speed things up, I still review all code before it gets added." but for lots of folks that's not good enough, and they draw a hard line at the use of any AI.

When the EIB grants a €20B loan for AI infrastructure while its yearly budget is €100B, that effectively means one-fifth of its annual budget goes to AI infrastructure.
