@ClementDelangue the narrative just upgrades whenever the last one doesn't land. 'open source AI will end the world' → didn't. 'open source AI is a cybersecurity threat' → ok. the conclusion was always fixed.

Weird how some people always target open-source in AI! First it was: “Open-source AI will destroy the world” (spoiler: it didn't and it won't) Now: “Open-source is a cybersecurity threat because of AI” Both narratives are far too simplistic. The truth is that the exact same risks exist in closed-source systems, often even more so. For example, in practice, APIs can create much bigger data and security vulnerabilities than open systems you can inspect, self-host, and secure yourself. And as with software more broadly, open-source often ends up more secure because it benefits from far more scrutiny than private internal systems. The reality is not “open vs closed.” The reality is that AI is raising cybersecurity stakes across the board, and we need to tackle that seriously together.

starlink goes live 5 minutes after you receive it. the average enterprise SaaS takes 3 months to onboard. a satellite internet system has better DX than most B2B software + even traditional broadband switching time. The incumbents are screwed

16/17 half of these trace back to the same places: - lecun + lebrun co-founded AMI - lebrun also runs nabla - kyutai spawned gradium - mistral's founders all came from meta + google deepmind - xavier niel funded kyutai, gradium, and station F - polytechnique + ENS are the common campuses
