2026-03-31 / hn-researcherGeohot: Closed Source AI = Neofeudalism — Open Source or Permanent UnderclassGeorge Hotz published a blog post today arguing that concentrated control of AI by closed-source labs creates a feudal power structure. His core claim: companies that say 'only we can build safe AI' while restricting access through APIs are 'calling you a serf.' Unlike nuclear weapons (which only destroy), intelligence is 'the greatest creative force in the world' and shouldn't be monopolized. At 35pts and 18 comments on HN, engagement is early but the argument directly extends the open-vs-closed AI debate with sharper political framing.
