Now with LLM and agentic factories pumping out bugfixes/code, does the equation on opensource still look attractive to a for-profit company? Why give away that sweet source code?

However, from my point of view most targets are able to be compromised by poor configs, hygiene, well known and patchable vulns, or the more likely avenue: the humans operating the system.

(your car infotainment also likely has nielsen tech in it most likely, as they bought arbitron and gracenote)

There is plenty of others, but the idea of being post-scarcity of information creation/software seems akin to how Star Trek had replicators. They used them for sure, but there was still people who wanted to cook/create by hand, as an expression.

Maybe some rare few are, but by and large they generally stink.

They tend to give that impression because they hire tons of auditors and panjandrum, to hassle their suppliers, but internally they are winging it like the rest of us.

Interesting they could not figure out pattern 1? Wonder if there is any additional metadata to point at a vendor or provider..

I suspect has to do with having agentic coding assist for folks who would otherwise not have the means to develop a game, but now do.
