Hello! Thanks for sharing this, I also shared with our AI Alignment for Open Source Working Group <https://github.com/chaoss/wg-ai-alignment/blob/main/README.md>(over at CHAOSS) - we meet every couple of weeks (calendar <https://teamup.com/event/show/id/wENsHqRXBbCy9vCxY1wA5Csrg9y2WW>) if you wanted to come and share a bit more that would be awesome. I also wrote a blog post (nowhere near as thorough or detailed), where I mulled over similar, trying to be optimistic! ("after open source" <https://sunnydeveloper.com/after-open-source-an-optimistic-prediction/>) if of interest.
