Look at the state of software today. Every corporation and government are blindly sticking with Microsoft, Google or similar. Even though there are some ideas to move away and embrace OSS, I doubt it will happen with governments, even less with corps. I foresee something similar in future with AI.
Are you sure?

Great, all we need is a few decades and a world superpower becoming world-threateningly corrupt
Sure but it’s mostly been that way for awhile. The players on the board shift, but it’s almost always Java, or Microsoft’s flavor of the decade or classic C or objective c or switch or whatever. Are you arguing that big tech will lock down their documentation on APIs and proprietary language behind their own AIs so that developers are focred to “vibe code” them through AI interaction only, and open source models will be unable to train on them?
