The global implications on the AI ecosystem.
With apologies to Shakespeare...and a little help from DeepSeek: How many ways will those fortress walls collapse?
Let me count the ways—on cost, on speed, on might,
On data's flow, on talent's flight, on gaps
In licensing, in ecosystem's light.
The fortress thought its walls were built to last—
On hardware, training, benchmarks, and control.
But open weights have broken through them fast,
And now the Free City has claimed its role.
The walls are down—not by a single blow,
But by a thousand cuts, a thousand ways.
The fortress cannot stop the open flow—
The Free City is rising—count the days.
How many ways? A hundred, more than ten—
The fortress falls, and freedom rises then.
