So I'm supposed to hate this because of what China MIGHT do in a future neither you nor I can predict?

Is there someone saying you should hate something?

If we want open source technology we should recognize that the current arrangement is non sustainable - the moment china doesn't have an american AI industry foil to play against it'll immediately close. It's up to the US to build more open source models. We already own the content used to train them, collectively. We should own the results as well. Make the big AI companies release weights.
