I know many people on nostr are passionate about open-source. Whether you're into Bitcoin or not, many of us have grown to appreciate developers and their projects, fork as we wish, and have contributed code or sats where possible.
In normie world, though, there is a concerted campaign to demonize open-source code in the field of AI. This is dangerous.
There are people now making "national security" arguments about the availability of open-source LLMs like LLaMA, arguing that spooks, spies, and soldiers in the Chinese military are using these models to do bad and nefarious things.
There are active bills in the US House to outlaw any "foreign" access to open-source code, which I fear will only get worse.
We have to take stand against it, and protect and defend open-source for all.
