You are fighting a losing battle. I understand why you think that, but the organization that owns the trademarks of open source do not agree with you (or me). I also disagree with that organization’s definition of open source AI, but they own the legal right to define the meaning of “open source” in the technology trade, the trade in which they own the trade mark. But laws are laws and you either abide by them (as a corp, what are you gonna do?) or don’t (fuck yeah, commit crimes).
Weights are the only thing you’ll get from “open source” ai. You need to look for stricter legal definitions to meet your understandable criteria.
IRC and email isn’t dead and they are completely anonymous. Web ain’t gonna die. TCP and UDP ain’t ever gonna die. HTTP ain’t ever gonna die. HTML ain’t ever gonna die. JSON isn’t even part of the web but it de facto is now. At this rate JS ain’t ever gonna die unfortunately. The web is safe. The internet is safe. Everything is open and it can’t be taken away or killed.
Think of it like climate change. The internet is going to be just fine. Its whoever is trying to benefit from digital IDs that will go extinct on it, and the internet will have healed itself from them.
Where Linux?
Now will people leave Twitch? What about companies that contract with AWS?
Ah, I see. It’s moreso like “people from this location put currency symbols after numbers” not specifically dollar signs. Like, we put currency symbols before the numbers in American English eg “Oh, that’s $12.00” or “Oh, that’s €12.00.” A german, writing in dutch, would write “Oh, das sind 12,00 $” or “Oh, das sind 12,00 €.” Many more countries do this like Poland, the Netherlands I think, etc. It’s pretty common. But like the other user said, in Quebec specifically (because French lol) since they use the canadian dollar and the canadian dollar is $ for them (though, in the US we just use CAD instead, so we’d write CAD 12.00 in america whereas a canadian would write $12.00 in canada for the same currency)
So many lol. There’s lots of ways numbers are formatted across locales https://cldr.unicode.org/translation/number-currency-formats/number-and-currency-patterns
