Kabir's Tech Dives
I'm always fascinated by new technology, especially AI. One of my biggest regrets is not taking AI electives during my undergraduate years. Now, with consumer-grade AI everywhere, I’m constantly discovering compelling use cases far beyond typical ChatGPT sessions.
As a tech founder for over 22 years, focused on niche markets, and the author of several books on web programming, Linux security, and performance, I’ve experienced the good, bad, and ugly of technology from Silicon Valley to Asia.
In this podcast, I share what excites me about the future of tech, from everyday automation to product and service development, helping to make life more efficient and productive.
Please give it a listen!

Meta Pushes Back: OSI's Open Source AI Definition Faces Resistance
The Open Source Initiative (OSI) recently unveiled version 1.0 of its Open Source AI Definition (OSAID), a milestone aiming to set a standard for open-source AI. Developed through years of collaboration with tech industry leaders, academia, and regulatory voices, the OSAID defines open AI models as those fully transparent in design, allowing users to understand, modify, and build on them. While big tech companies like Meta and Stability AI tout their models as "open," they often fall short of OSAID’s criteria by withholding key data or imposing usage restrictions. This definition seeks to clarify open AI’s parameters, but concerns remain over licensing, IP, and compliance as companies balance openness with legal and competitive challenges.
