The 2040 plan is already much more open source friendly (even mandating it! yay). It also includes “mutually assured compute destruction” ideas which (if they work) effectively give one of 2-5 actors the ability to trigger a global compute winter – as opposed to giving 1-5 actors the ability to selectively disenfranchise people they consider baddies while exempting themselves. This is also a big improvement.
