> It seems like software in AI-era should be distributed open source.

That makes it easy for AI to be trained on it.

Yeah, also makes it easy for humans to train on it.

That's the point of open source, sharing the knowledge.

We'll all make the same shit over and over if noone shares.

But if we all share, then the only thing left to make is the unknown.

That doesn't explain why particularly in the AI era software should be easily accessible. All that stuff you said isn't relevant as it applies in the pre-AI era as well.

If anything it matters more. I want both myself and my AI agents to have as much knowledge as possible.

Sharing is always better.
