The questions from the @osi's session on the #OSAID last week at #OSSEU weren't captured well on video, so I transcribed them for you.

What's the deal with open source and artificial intelligence? Join Allison Randal, Joey Hess, Kat Walsh, Denver Gingerich, and myself tomorrow morning for a lively discussion on open source AI at FOSSY!

Well this was a week you couldn't pay me to live through again.

My grandmother passed right before my ML talk at #FOSDEM. I had amazing support from my team to go home and back out of my talks at #SOOCon24 if I wanted to. But, I know what my grandmother would have said— the show must go on.

Yes, I had to get one more Queen reference in!

@benjamingeer @bookandswordblog presenting stats without sources as fact isn't cool though, even if getting the sources is hard.

@vmbrasseur thanks! Tomorrow I'll go see if *that* methodology is published.

@vmbrasseur oh yikes: "This report is available for individual purchase ($2995)."

@vmbrasseur that's my suspicion but I want to see if someone can prove it wrong

@luis_in_brief @vmbrasseur I really want to know which flavor of bullshit it is so that we can demonstrate why publishing methodology is important

@vmbrasseur it predates that one and while the earliest mention does come from a Synopsis study, it doesn't provide any rationale for the estimate.

Open source folks, I need your help. There's that number, floating around the internet for YEARS now, that claims that ~70% of modern software components are made up of open source software.

I cannot, for the life of me, find the actual source for that. As in, who arrived at that estimation and how.

Can someone please help me track that down or put me in touch with someone who might know?

Quick, someone talk me out of going back to grad school.
