they're setting the scene for an attempt to scare the geriatric decision makers into banning free and open source ML, as it's the industry's only real competition
What does that mean exactly? Like sure, you can get some freely available weights and run them on your own hardware, but where did those weights come from?
Was the training process in any way "open", or are you simply relying on a handout from some other (probably large, probably corporate) organization that has the resources to do the actual training?
the current buzz about "sharing the wealth" with these AI co.s also smells of "sure we'll give you some back, just don't regulate us, see you dont need to, we're sharing our shares!"
or are you setting the scene for well-meaning technocrats to back unrestricted AI development in hopes it will bring about utopia while dismissing the damage it could cause in the hands of adversarial groups?
AI isn't that scary. But I've also got some extreme minority opinions like "Never give a website your real name" and "Computers should not be used for banking" and "Don't believe anything you hear online".
The worst I see AI/ML doing to society is shining an unmistakable light onto the blind spots people have already been exploiting for decades. Y2k forced us to patch the integer bug. Super AI will force us to reevaluate what cyber security even is.

They probably meant both. Open training data is obviously better than open weight, but open weight is still much, much better than closed SAAS models.

tl;dr super AI is like a necessary bush fire
