Open source means living under constant scrutiny. AI just made that scrutiny cheaper and faster. I feel this every day maintaining an open source project. The temptation to close the source is real but let’s not forget that open source is what raised the bar for software quality in the first place.

Not really. Open source just means distributing the source. Either via CD or some internet based protocol.

Maybe you are referring to the whole Github thing.

I mean, by definition, open source means that the source code is available and therefore _open_ to scrutiny. Regardless of how it is distributed.

Right. But what is the problem?

* Someone lols at code. Answer: ignore them.

* Someone sees your vulns. Answer: someone is already trying to hack you anyway.

Open source is what made this AI shitshow possible in the first place.
