Commoditize your Complement: The evil reason why big tech pays guys like Yann LeCunn millions to promote open source AI
Is it for common social good?
No, the true primary goal is to destroy their competition, strengthen their respective monopolies, and make more money - as counterintuitive as it may sound.
It's the exact same strategy that IBM, Microsoft, and many other big tech monopolists successfully used in the past: commoditizing their complements.
Open source AI destroys what would otherwise be their top upcoming competitors, enables them to capture all of the the value being created, instead of having to share it with anyone else, and greatly strengthens their moat.
How does that work?
Open source drives competitive advantage of having the best AI to zero, since everyone has access to the same AI for free, so then, the only thing in the stack that still is able to capture much value is what they have, a captive consumer base.
Open source AI prevents what otherwise would be the biggest threat to their products - those developing the greatest new AI models, from being able to make big money and become a serious threat to them.
Same general strategy as IBM and Microsoft used to destroy their competition: commoditizing your complement.

Close, all legislation does restrict, but not all restriction is of the people and freedoms.
"All legislation is about the restriction of freedom. We are restricting freedom, but we're doing it for the common good."
Good old consensus, common good.
These are the people who will soon be ruling the AIs.
Consensus is communism.
