Yeah, it's interesting. 2 questions came to my mind: 1) Where is
Mozilla? Are they a part of it? And 2) "open" is not a simple
concept. Is it possible that so many organizations have a clear
understanding of what it means? If so, what do they mean? We've
seen, over and over again, a kind of exploitation of Utopian
values, especially in infrastructure-level software. (I'd love to
get Stallman's opinion.)
<br>
<br>
One way to clarify someone's position on their private conception
of "open" is to ask how they feel about limits to the exportation
of encryption software.
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/08/us-export-controls-and-published-encryption-source-code-explained"><https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/08/us-export-controls-and-published-encryption-source-code-explained></a><br>
<br>
Another tack is to ask how they feel about fake news, trust in
institutions, free speech, platforming, etc.

IDK. The AI Alliance smells, to me, kinda like more TESCREAL [1],
ripe for exploitation and *-washing [2] by the privileged. If a
tech is open and stays open, it'll most likely do so because
individuals commit to it, not because some meta-corp of mega-corps
get together as "allies". But I'm a bit cynical.
<br>
<br>
[1] Transhumanism, Extropianism, Singulatarianism, Cosmism,
Rationalism, Effective Altruism, Longtermism
<br>
[2] Green-washing (fossil fuel lobbyists at cop28), ethics-washing
("ai safety"), dei-washing (sensitivity training), etc.
