I wish they would stop putting AI code into the kernel though. That also appears to be degrading security, among many other issues.

It’s nice that some resources are being directed in this area, but it’s far from a total solution. For example, the passport-saml Node module is popular and security related and is already fielding a number of AI-assisted security vulns. Even when they are contributed by “security experts”, they still have to be carefully vetted to confirm they are correct and not themselves malicious. While the patches may be good, it appears to be generating more unpaid volunteer labor for the maintainers. Thankfully there some other fund’s trying to help out maintainers of critical open source projects.

Akrites establishes a shared Security Incident Response Team (SIRT) and a single, standardized Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure (CVD) process, built on confidentiality-first principles and industry-standard tooling. Soo XKCD 927?

These are all grifts by the Linux foundation in concert with corporations to still not pay for open source development.
