In theory though, there is now a new way for community to support open source, but running vulnerability scans in white-hat mode, reporting and patching. That way they burn tokens for a project they love. Even if they couldn't actually contribute code before.
replyThere should be a way to donate your unused tokens on every cycle to open source like rounding up at the chekout!
That sounds like a great idea. I'd love to be able to contribute the remainder of my monthly AI subscriptions for something like this, especially since some of them bill and refresh their quotas by calendar month.
replyHang on, why is it costly for in-house to run AI scanners but near zero for threat actors to do the same?
replyI've seen multiple proprietary places now including a routine AI scan of their code because it's so cheap and they may as well use-up unused tokens at the end of the week.
I mean, it's literally zero because they already paid for CC for every developer. You can't get cheaper than that.
