The register is reporting that a bunch of major tech companies are throwing some parking meter money at Linux to "Fix the AI-slop"

Its worth a note at least.

https://www.theregister.com/2026/03/18/linux_foundation_ai_slop_defense/

Not sure how to react as::

- No Shit Bat-persons !

- This is not unlike the Nasty Orange Bloke paying a billion dollars into the "Fib Jar"

- - Its not nearly enough to cover the bullshit, but it does do a nice job of "green washing" the brand...

- It acknowledges the "problem".
(fucking disaster for Maintainers ... at least. )

- One chaps chump change is another's path to economic lock-in ...

-- Still , hopefully, they get way more than they pay for.

The Register cover it beter-er.

AI is Changing the Relationship Between Developers and Open Source

AI is making open source more valuable than ever, but it’s also changing how developers interact with the communities that maintain it. Two recent LeadDev articles prompted me to think about a growing tension: AI is increasing demand for open source while also increasing the burden on the maintainers who sustain it.
