you don’t have the info and machinery you’d need to make your own identical bicycle.

When you pirate the game you are making an identical copy of the game

Releasing the source code would allow anyone to copy AND modify or extend the game as they see fit

So just like when you buy a bicycle irl and you are allowed to customize it and set it up as you want. Are you saying we shouldn't be allowed to modify goods?

Without the source code there's no way to know what you are running, ever heard of a spyware named red shell?

I would also like to compile my own binaries for my own system

A house isn't software, it's more like getting handled the blueprints of the building. They already have access to the property what's the difference if they have the blueprints or not

Go on and explain the difference

looks totally unhealthy, why would i want to eat this?

Like having the source code?

Why not releasing the source code then?

governments and politicians got their hands on it

Not the case for AI. We are at the beginning of a new era
