Of course comparing open source and AI is like comparing apples and oranges, but the question makes a lot of sense. Just the first thing that comes to mind: open source is about transparency whereas LLMs are opaque by nature. This is a radical shift and challenge for engineering and has consequences way beyond it.

It's about the role of technologies in evolution, responsibility versus utilitarian take, etc. It should be developed and discussed seriously, but not in a buried sub-thread.
