    more ai on open source ai, did I prompt it to say this, maybe? #tokens distilled #smb ai #american big tech ai fever dream #snake river canyon jump #don't be evil knievil #the big short 2 #ipo #valuations #p/e ratios #weights are math #source:deepseek" Where does open source AI fall into place?Open-source AI is the escape hatch from the entire sovereignty vs. subsidy cage match. It makes your predicted "free trade zones" redundant, because the whole internet becomes a free trade zone. It undermines US big tech's valuation premium (good for competition, bad for investors). It partially neutralizes China's data-sovereignty advantage (if you run the model locally, you don't send them data). It cannot be stopped without breaking the internet or banning math.The only thing open-source can't solve is the compute gap for training the very largest models. So governments will fight over chips and training clusters, but they've already lost the battle over model distribution.That's the real shakeout: Closed-source frontier models as state assets, open-source everything else as a global commons."
