Jack Dorsey says the real threat isn’t open-source AI. it’s five CEOs deciding what the world is allowed to build with AI. “These AI companies are building platforms, and they’re all incentivized around their own models. You have to ask for permission, you hit rate limits, and even what the models return is constrained.” “What technologies let you build without asking a company—or a CEO—for permission? The durable ones. That’s why open protocols matter.” “When a handful of CEOs make the call, it caps the upside of great ideas that could move humanity forward. They might know what’s best for their company—but not what’s best for the world’s creativity.” “Luckily, open-source AI is gaining real momentum. DeepSeek was a key moment—not just showing a different path, but proving it can be competitive, even better than what the big corporations are shipping.” “We shouldn’t be dependent on five companies claiming they know best—and calling open source ‘dangerous.’ We should build in the open and race toward solutions that stay ahead of the risks.” PS.
