452: Can Open Source Save Us from the AI Dystopia?
Can Open Source save the world? In episode 452, the crew dives deep into the "In-Between Dystopia" of AI layoffs and whether we are headed toward a Star Trek-style post-scarcity economy or a Mad Max wasteland. We also discuss why governments are finally breaking up with Big Tech to build sovereign stacks like La Suite, and why this is a massive win for the FOSS ecosystem.
Plus, we look at Firefox’s return to its roots, the latest security blunders in the "Heap of the Maggots," and a surprising Linux update from GOG.
