Open Source has survived corporate capture, licensing wars, and decades of unpaid labor. It will survive AI too. But the economics it's built on? Those are already breaking. In January, the curl project shut down its six-year-old bug bounty program. curl runs on over 20 billion devices. The reason for the shutdown: 20 AI-hallucinated security reports landed in the first 21 days of the year. Every one required manual investigation. Every one was fabricated. This is not an isolated incident. It is the new normal. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/kai-hartung_open-source-has-survived-corporate-capture-share-7449808458247266304-aDGM
