(I need to decide this to mysef as well!)
My opinion is very simple: if you're PUBLIC, and people KNOW ABOUT YOUR EXISTENCE, in 2023 you MUST BE OPEN SOURCE, OPEN HARDWARE, and GLOBALLY COLLABORATIVE.
If you tell people that you exist, but you keep your secrets hidden under top secret clearances of our Great Industrial Military complex, you probably are violating the mentioned clearances, and probably have to go to jail for treason. There are "black markets." Stay there. If Sam Altman, Peter Tiel, Elon Musk have mismanaged doing captilalism in the world of Global Security policies... well, they DID MISMANAGE it because of their ego, or a lack of commitment to ether public or top secret.
Jeff Bezos, before his company being passed for our national security and safety purposes, used to NEVER MIX with government.
Again: either open source and do capitalism for public in 2023 the RIGH WAY, or hide, and work for the government!
Do not freaking sit on two chairs!
