For sure, I posed the question as it is often asked about data centers. Nuance is important, as is accurate data. The relative comparison is a potent one as we have a national debate about how we use our resources effectively and responsibl

Are there any other companies besides the Ai duoply arguing against open weights?

I wholeheartedly agree and put effort into not seeing ads as well. At the same time, there are companies I like doing business with that I would never have known about were it not for their advertising, marketing, and/or sponsorships.

I believe the comment about trading a dollar is more a comment on money being the medium of exchange. Humanity had a history without money, and while some bartering still exists, by and large we live in a society where money is how we trade
