But here’s some cash to help process them, say Google and other AI companies.
While the AI itself wasn’t weaponized, the technique raises concerns about AI agents with broad system access.
In a policy change, it requires contributors to understand the code they commit. The question, though, is how to determine that.
Open source has always had issues, but the benefits outweighed the costs/risks. AI is not merely exponentially accelerating tasks, it is disproportionately increasing risks.
AI agent OSS activity opens the door to future supply chain attacks, says security company.
Peter Steinberger will lead personal agent development, while the viral open-source project will continue under an open-source foundation.
Permissions for agentic systems are a mess of vendor-specific toggles. We need something like a ‘Creative Commons’ for agent behavior.
As LLMs and coding agents reduce reliance on small open-source libraries and make large ones harder to maintain, the future of open source looks smaller, quieter, and much more exclusive.
From fine-tuning open source models to building agentic frameworks on top of them, the open source world is ripe with projects that support AI development.
Microsoft has open sourced a tool to help build XAML user interfaces in .NET. How does the GitHub-hosted project shape up?
Hyperautomation isn’t robots taking over—it’s smart orchestration, and Ansible is the set of hands that actually gets the work done.
Forthcoming update of the rapid prototyping tool for WinUI developers, now available on GitHub, adds a new Fluent UI design, folder support, and a live properties panel.
Report indicates that Mark Zuckerberg has other plans: to pull an open source U-turn and make Meta’s best AI models proprietary.
In this Linux tip, we will try out the watch command. It’s a command that will run repeatedly, overwriting its previous output until you stop it with a ^c (Ctrl + “c”) command. It can be used to sit and wait for some change in the output that you’re waiting to see. By default, a command that is run through watch will run two seconds. You can change the time with the -t option. If you, for example, use the command “watch who”, the output will not change except for the date/time in the upper right corner – at least not until someone logs in or out of the system. Every 2.0s: who fedora: Sat May 25 15:11:22 2024 fedora seat0 2024-05-25 14:24 (login screen) fedora tty2 2024-05-25 14:24 (tty2) shs pts/1 2024-05-25 14:25 (192.168.0.11) Once another person logs in or someone logs out, a line will be added or removed from the list of logged in users. Closing: Well, that’s your Linux tip for the watch command. It can be useful when you’re waiting for some change to happen on your Linux system.
