So it forces everyone to use more GitHub stuff?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but this means I now need to submit to GitHub Security Advisor to get my security fix out ASAP?

If I manage an open source program like this, my job is to write the code and docs, publish it somewhere and maybe make some changes to make it more portable. That's it!

It's the distro's job to package and integrate this software with the rest of the system, to make it easier for their users.

I have 1677 packages installed. I absolutely _do not_ want to go to 1677 places to install or look for the latest version.

Maybe, or maybe they would take this opportunity to gain a lot of power and influence around the world.

Just because you're not paying per token or per month does not mean they are doing it for free.

> it is unlikely that open source models' capability will ever surpass frontier models

Sure about that? Would you invest in products almost no-one can buy?

otoh, maybe China stop releasing their best models

> Sales and Marketing: $5.73 billion .. That is, OpenAI spent 44% of their revenue on sales and marketing!

Anyone know what they are spending this on? Can't remember seeing one OpenAI ad.. Is it just pr and influencers? Ads in the US?

> The frontier labs have fantastic margin on inference.

Source?

The OpenAi filing will be very interesting indeed.

("trust me bro" statements from sama et al does not count, since I don't trust them)

Edit:

The best argument I have seen look at the price of inference from smaller companies running open models. And assuming they are profitable-ish. Their prices are lower than the OpenAi and Anthropics best models, so maybe they do make money on inference (ignoring all other costs)

Absolutely! CEOs does many and difficult things, but they don't build anything

Interesting, this went Tanstack -> Nx Console -> GitHub

I wonder how many other secrets and tokens have been stolen, just waiting to be abused to publish a malicious version of.. something.

IMO, the problem is [1] that actually rotation all secrets just because you might have installed a compromised packe is a huuge PITA. So it's tempting to take it lightly and hope for the best. And even if you really try, it's easy to miss one.

No, I don't have to be okay with that.

It's like oneshotting an app with Lovable or cc and bragging about what "I made"

Let's see, System 76, previously Dell and Samsung.

All the pretty much the smallest and lightest I could find. So not fantastic, but good enough. For me, battery life is much lower on the list than "small and lightweight" and "works well with Linux".

Disagree. Gp didn't make anything.

I told a waiter in a restaurant what I wanted to eat, and I got it. But I did not make the food : )

I get your point, but GP is right: You said "Default install", not enabled by default.

The default install is actually very useful, and includes a lot, like parent said. Having run OpenBSD in the past, I found the their versions of things were often superior, at least for small setups (and some of them for large installs as well.. probably : )

Agreed, I'm very curious as to how this could happen.

But TheRegister did reach out to Google and they have not replied yet: https://www.theregister.com/off-prem/2026/05/20/google-cloud...
