> If the open source community can come up with something like this, just imagine what governments are capable of.

Since ~2022 and accelerated by the Russian aggression against Ukraine, governments are now behind both private and open source for frontier technology.

The companies that captured government contracts in the last century can’t move fast enough to bring tech into the government and national technology policy and funding is collapsing compared to the private sector

That’s new in history

Open source is the future. If everyone can work on it, we get better results for cheaper.

Open source doesn't mean the end of competition, since we are a competitive species.

I think the future economy is going to be some sort of UBI + large open source projects
