AI is in a similar situation to software years ago were commercial interests are now firmly beginning to drive development. In retrospect it&#x27;s been true for a while, but the pure research angle we&#x27;ve seen until now is going to change quickly into more of a commercial land grab. Very few people seem to care and honestly technical definitions are pretty meaningless for most people. I&#x27;ve seen posts where people say &quot;oh it&#x27;s only limiting companies with 700 Million+ DAUs, who cares&quot;.<p>It was only through a lot of hard work and evangelism that software landed on some very common established open source licences. Plus the then lack of interest from big players. They are not going to make the same mistake again, so there is going to be even more of a push necessary to keep AI &quot;free&quot;.
