"...but I'm gonna argue against it anyway."
...but i suspect few to none will continue releasing free and open models when they start cutting too deeply into token profits.
We'll likely see smaller open models, but few who have the resources to train large, frontier sized models will want to do so for free... maybe China, but they're also a dubious choice for many.

>The economic growth and so-called advanced economies (think Germany, The U.S, Japan, etc. What's been referred to as the “Global North”) relies by a large proportion on a significant net appropriation of resources and labor from the “Global South” (think Kenya, Peru, the Philippines, etc). This appropriation reaches astronomical levels. In 2015 alone, the north appropriated 12 billion tons of embodied raw material equivalents, 822 million hectares of embodied land, 21 exajoules of embodied energy, and 188 million person-years of embodied labor; worth [a total] $10.8 Trillion in northern prices. Enough to end extreme poverty 70x over.
