Everything is open source if you're skilled with Ghidra. We call AI models "open source" if you can download the binary and not the source. Why not programs? | ||||||||

> We call AI models "open source" if you can download the binary and not the source. Who's "we"? There's been quite a lot of pushback on this naming scheme from the OSS community, with many preferring the term "open weights". | ||||||||

Why not programs? the weights of a model aren't equivalent to the binary output of source code, no matter how you try to stretch the metaphor. >why not because we aren't beholden to change all definitions and concepts because some guy at some corp said so. | ||||||||

Binaries and AI models can be inscrutable. They're meant to be interpreted by machines. We want human readable, comprehensible, reproducible and maintainable sources at minimum when we say open source. | ||||||||

North Korea is called a “democratic people's republic”. Just because one thing that really isn't <whatever> is called <whatever> by the people in coontrol of it, doesn't mean that it is or that incorrectly calling other things <whatever> is correct. | ||||||||
