1/ My unpopular take: Free and Open Source Software culture often goes way past the point of absurdity in its idealism. It often winds up doing to software what file sharing did to music: It devalues the work and the creators behind it, and it breeds an entitlement culture.

So you don't think that the deep learning libraries/models you rely on have benefitted from open source? All the model architectures that are available, crowd sourced bug detection, user driven issue raising, modularity thanks to transparency...

Oh yeah that's all great stuff coming out of it. Don't get me wrong. What I'm saying is that the unfortunate side is that the idealism that drives open source can drive absurd and destructive outcomes, and that it needs to be viewed skeptically.
