  1. I would argue the greater mistake was rebranding #freesoftware and forming a dull corporate entity known as the #opensourceinitiative. Open source as a term* has always been poorly defined despite being legally identical to Free/Libre; and the ideas of #freeculture #cyberlibertarian and #freespeech cannot be divorced from #freelibresoftware

    *(referring to how its colloquially spoken— neither word in "open source" implies or evokes freedom in any way; it sounds more like "source available" than #liberty to me.)

    Instead of making laws focus on funding:

    • libre AI
    • libre risc v
    • libre silicon
    • research on AI ethics
    • research on AI safety
    • research on mechanistic interpretability
    • NLnet
    • projects like openchatkit and open asisstant

    Laws and regulations (including license restrictions) usually benefit corporations and governments who have lawyers, lobyists, perverse incentives and a drive for data mining and surveillance. Even if you do your best to make a good law it could make it harder for libre efforts to comply. Put your trust in research, decentralization, libre software, libre hardware and research.

    Billions of dollars are being invested by companies like nvidia,google and microsoft.
