Interesting article and I'm a big proponent of sounding the alarm bells even if it might seem the noise is being swallowed by the vacuum of space. I'd love to see your take on ways in which we can avoid the outcome of a complete siloing of open weights - a "and here's what we can do or need to do about it before it's too late." I'd also love to see your take on the fact that enterprise organizations are seemingly shifting to open weights so ironically could be the industry's salvation (fine tuning massive open models - Cursor with Kimi 2, etc.) or other examples? Perhaps you might find it's not so bleak! Here's to hoping.
