This seems to be his view:
He doesn't seem to subscribe to the idea that everything you use MUST be open source, as some more radical open source advocates do, but instead that more software SHOULD be open source.
I would definitely prefer if AI was open source and self-hosted (or at least E2EE if cloud hosted). Sometimes though the best tool for the job as things stand is closed source.
Aa for the legally dubious output, while AI can exactly replicate training data, it rarely does nowadays. It's usually an amalgam of stuff.
I highly doubt E2EE cloud LLMs are even theoretically possible. Let alone the computational overheads for said theoretical zero knowledge computing.
