Sam Altman just said something that should worry you more than excite you:
"AI is close to creating a genie that can grant any wish."
This is EXACTLY why open-source AI matters - and this was Elon's original thesis when he was at OpenAI.
Right now, the future of all AI power sits with a handful of companies.
Think: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta.
They decide who gets access, at what price, under what rules, and on what timeline.
Open-weight models are the only solution to ensuring this "genius in a bottle" power is in check.
Ultimately, this is also why it matters that NVIDIA, Microsoft, Hugging Face, and dozens of others just signed a joint letter arguing that we need to pivot towards open-weight AI.
The most powerful technology in human history should not be something a handful of executives dole out to the world on their own terms.
The bull case for open-source AI is simple: don't let five companies hold all the leverage over everyone else.
