If you were paid X for a grant 2 years ago, and especially for FOSS, an AI agent is able to do more and more software, why wouldn't you expect grant size/amounts to decrease?

This is good for the FOSS ecosystem. The same amount of grant dollars can get more work done.

This is creative destruction playing out.

Forever grants are not a solution for forever income replacement.

You are free to start your own 501c3 and do things your way.

As LLMs can do much much more of what would have been a grant except even more push back on funding.
