David Siegel Endowment Argues Governments and Nonprofits Should Fund Open Source AI
A Siegel Endowment paper published in Fortune makes the case for public and philanthropic investment in free, open source AI, hitting 243 points and 86 comments on Hacker News.

A durable non-corporate funding source would change that dependency.
