I wonder if they are doing this to make billions of tech investor money go up in smoke
good economic weapon against the 1% nobody saw coming
It's really a smart attack that's not easily countered and since the weapon is an open source license everyone benefits from tech getting into public domain. RL has shown there's even less of a moat than we thought initially.
Honestly open source has the unique power of removing the inequalities like how some military use ai to chose targets to bomb (cough cough israel, america, Russia) so opensourcing weakens your enemies advantage and gives anyone with some knowhow a potential leg up in asymmetric issues. Plus it does wonders for chinas reputation, when all you have to compare against is trumps America and Putin's Russia.
