I agree with the message, but I'm not going to accept it from this particular crowd. Microsoft, NVIDIA, Meta, Palantir, IBM...They have all been actively hostile to open source for decades, and have a history of embracing it only when convenient and profitable. Microsoft benefited from its close partnership with OpenAI for years right up until it went sour. Where was this enthusiasm for open weights then? Meta was developing open models and then abandoned that effort in search for profits. Muse Spark is now fully closed. All these companies have the resouces to train and release frontier open weights models today, but choose not to. So spare me the marketing and virtue signaling. | ||

I’ll never forgive Microsoft for their hostile actions against open source and open standards in the 90s. I’ll never believe any endorsement from them of open-anything. | ||

Yeah, the endorsement logos at the bottom are majority bad actors with regards to openness in code. Many are bad actors with regards to openness in _society_. | ||

Yeah, never ask a fox to count your chickens. | ||
