Yeah, it's interesting. 2 questions came to my mind: 1) Where is
Mozilla? Are they a part of it? And 2) "open" is not a simple concept.
Is it possible that so many organizations have a clear understanding
of what it means? If so, what do they mean? We've seen, over and over
again, a kind of exploitation of Utopian values, especially in
infrastructure-level software. (I'd love to get Stallman's opinion.)
One way to clarify someone's position on their private conception of
"open" is to ask how they feel about limits to the exportation of
encryption software.

Another tack is to ask how they feel about fake news, trust in
institutions, free speech, platforming, etc.
IDK. The AI Alliance smells, to me, kinda like more TESCREAL [1], ripe
for exploitation and *-washing [2] by the privileged. If a tech is
open and stays open, it'll most likely do so because individuals
commit to it, not because some meta-corp of mega-corps get together as
"allies". But I'm a bit cynical.
[1] Transhumanism, Extropianism, Singulatarianism, Cosmism,
Rationalism, Effective Altruism, Longtermism
[2] Green-washing (fossil fuel lobbyists at cop28), ethics-washing
("ai safety"), dei-washing (sensitivity training), etc.
