"Databricks co-founder argues US must go #OpenSource to beat China in AI."
https://techcrunch.com/2025/11/14/databricks-co-founder-argues-us-must-go-open-source-to-beat-china-in-ai/

"Major #AI labs, including OpenAI, Meta, and Anthropic, continue to innovate significantly, yet their innovations remain largely proprietary… #Konwinski argued that for ideas to truly flourish, they need to be freely exchanged and discussed with the larger academic community. He pointed out that generative AI emerged as a direct result of the #Transformer architecture, a pivotal training technique introduced in a freely available research paper [ #OpenAccess in #arXiv]."

Great to see the society journal 'European Societies' moving away from Taylor & Francis and now being published with MIT Press under a diamond open access model (no paywall for readers and no fees for authors either)

https://direct.mit.edu/euso/article/27/1/1/130542/Transforming-European-Societies-through-open

I wonder when it will get listed in @DOAJ , maybe from 2026?
