Open source ftw

In software, trust follows from transparency which is why critical encryption, and all widely adopted protocols are *open*

Examples include TCP/IP, HTTP, SMTP, DNS, Tor, Bitcoin, Nostr and some AI models

The acceleration in the progress of AI models always appeared likely to be overtaken by open source models, and increasingly is being proven to be so

The closed source walled-garden approach can be brilliant for a short period of time .. and it looks like the sun is setting

For those of you old enough, there’s some direct parallels to the battle of AOL Online vs the open Internet .. and we all know how that ended

I love seeing Open source win 🏆
