       Mark Surman from @mozilla , in a recent op-ed for Fast Company, argues that the recent OpenAI debacle confirms the need for nonprofit  control over key technologies. Surman points to Linux, Apache, Mozilla as prior examples.I really like his argument, and wish that it will travel far. Will add that there's also room for public institutions to play a stronger role in these technological ecosystems.The OpenAI case was slightly different than the examples that Mark mentions. In these cases, nonprofits established alternatives that succesfully carved out niches or even took over markets. With OpenAI, there was a slim hope that a nonprofit will be the leading organization developing an emergent tech.I guess that this hope died several weeks ago.https://www.fastcompany.com/90992180/this-is-the-right-lesson-to-take-from-the-openai-debacle
