I’m shocked that Ars got this wrong and is helping Apple openwash their work. But I’m seeing this same utterly basic mistake with other tech media as well, like Venture Beat:

- Hugsun 3y agoI love this term, openwashing. It stumbles off the tongue.
- squigz 3y agoIt's invention of terms like this that make it hard for people to take some activist groups seriously...

- blackeyeblitzar 3y agoWhy such a negative take? Open washing is similar to green washing, a practice where companies pretend to be environmentally friendly for marketing purposes. To me the term makes immediate sense. What am I missing?
- blackeyeblitzar 3y agoAny alternative suggestions? Its similar to green washing and other such practices.
- gilgoomesh 3y agoThere's no open washing — Apple have released the code (both training and inference), the weights and a research paper explaining. It's about as open as you could expect from them.
- blackeyeblitzar 3y agoI didn’t see training source code, but more like a promise to share insights. Am I missing something? Regardless another reason this isn’t open source is because it used a proprietary license instead of an OSI approved open source license.
