> Businesses would not want their losses to be attributed to an AI rewriting an entire codebase. AI owns nothing, not even the bugs which it produces. I would not want my SaaS to have downtime because a JavaScript runtime it depends on decided that they had to market their LLM by rewriting years of code recklessly.

I don't know how else to say this but "Tough Shit"? Businesses are building their entire enterprise on the volunteer work donated by the free software community (or given away for free by some other company solving its own problems).

If you don't want 'your' SaaS to have downtime based on somebody else's whims, then fucking pay for your own developers (or your own AI) to build your SaaS platform in house. That's what IBM did in the 1970s, and nothing except market pressure is stopping you from doing it today.

I'm sorry for the vulgarity but this entitled attitude of businesses toward FREE SOFTWARE GIVEN TO THEM FOR NO MONEY is infuriating. If the electric company decided to give your company free power on windy days, would you then get angry that they installed a new model of turbine?
