I'm kinda hoping World Governments will use their Public Library infrastructure to train AI. Japan is my #1 hope with how they are opening public science knowledge. Super-computers have been prohibitive for a long time but national science institutions could be a great place for open source & open weight AI.

Genuinely blown away the EU isn't doing this.

In the U.S., the solution may be in carving a legal safe harbor for companies that release their models per the OSI's draft definition of open source.

I bet Nvidia would quite like that too. Private and public-sector funding, theirs for the taking! Few businesses are ever so lucky.
