Im also sure they are sick of their reputation.

I just dont see how open sourcing a new type of tech that is riddled with ethical issues over intellectual property rights and content replacement in a way that doesnt actually really address those ethical questions has done anything to change their reputation.

Id love to see them move in a right direction. But I dont think chasing the heels of their competitors swinging a bolas in the hopes of catching a dropped lunch is the right direction.

(And if you dont wanna keep arguing it 100% fair, but they definitely benefit from open sourcing their work.)
