I argued with the father of open source for 2 years. Now the AI fight is the same — only bigger

David Siegel, co-founder of Two Sigma, has spent years advocating against the idea of closing off AI development, drawing parallels to the near-monopoly that nearly took hold in the software industry during the 1980s. He argues that restricting AI access would be equally detrimental today, with the potential to stifle innovation and creativity at a higher scale. Siegel's long-standing opposition to this trend underscores the importance of maintaining open access to technology for widespread benefit and progress.
