Ep 11 – Google vs FFmpeg - The Open Source Meltdown

🎙️ Coffee, Chaos & ProdSec – Episode 11

This week, Kurt and Cameron break down the showdown between Google’s Big Sleep AI and the FFmpeg maintainers keeping the internet’s media backbone running for free.

A tiny bug in a 1995 video codec sparked a big debate about responsibility, AI-driven vulnerability hunting, and the growing strain on open source volunteers.

We get into: • Why FFmpeg pushed back with “just submit a patch” • How AI is flooding OSS projects with vulnerabilities • The reality of trillion-dollar companies relying on unpaid labor • What needs to change before more maintainers walk away

Grab your coffee and settle in as we unpack one of the biggest open source stories of the year.

☕ New episodes every Wednesday.
