These paragraphs contradict each other.
No one actually knows what open source means. Yet so many random people use the word. Including reporters.
Do they contradict each other? They might use a broader definition of "open source" than you prefer, but it doesn't seem contradictory.
But, maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean.
The only people looking to expand open source to mean things like open weights, are the same as people looking to have AI be a thing.
The only people that think AI isn't a thing are people terrified about AI being a thing.
