You saw a lot of this when the New Deal was created.
And FDR basically used the Federal Communications Commission to control the messaging of the New Deal by basically threatening the licenses of the radio broadcasters.
And there's a lot of controversy of just how much they did and did it really cross some line?
But the truth is they were just in line.
Whether they wanted to be or not, they were going to be in line.
And the same thing happened with television.
And so this whole idea of being against open source, it's really rooted in, like, the government can't be against open source because if you get a government grant, you're required to release all your software as open source.
Like, that's the government way of doing computer science research.
So how can all of a sudden the government say we don't want open source?
It doesn't even make sense because nobody, none of the leading academic researchers that will be government funded.
And so it just makes no sense at all to me.
And, you know, Microsoft, where we were a closed source, you know, Bill Gates invented the closed source business model.
And so we live through the rise of HTTP and Apache and web and Linux and all of this other stuff.
But there is a role for open source.
And most importantly, the open source existed even when Microsoft existed, even when IBM existed.
And so there's no reason why the AI companies should be against open source other than we just don't want our competition to exist and we don't want to bother to compete.
We'd rather just compete with each other and not worry about that crazy open source competitor, which I just, I can't even put words into how obnoxious that is.
It's just not,
It's just not true.
Sure.
