> Open source means "I can see the source" to most of the world
well we don't really want to open that can of worms though, do we?
I don't agree with ceding technical terms to the rest of the world. I'm increasingly told we need to stop calling cancer detection AI "AI" or "ML" because it is not the 'bad AI' and confuses people.
I guess I'm okay with being intransigent.
If you are happy that time is being spent quibbling over definitions instead of actually focusing on the ideal, I'm not sure you care about the ideals as much as you say you do.
Who gives a shit what we call "cancer AI", what matters is the result.
