    I’m not terribly surprised. A lot of the major leaps we’re seeing now came out of open source development after leaked builds got out. There were all sorts of articles flying around at the time about employees from various AI-focused company saying that they were seeing people solving in hours or days issues they had been attempting to fix for months.

    Then they all freaked the fuck out and it might mean they would lose the AI race and locked down their repos tight as Fort Knox, completely ignoring the fact that a lot of them were barely making ground at all while they kept everything locked up.

    Seems like the simple fact of the matter is that they need more eyes and hands on the tech, but nobody wants to do that because they’re all afraid their competitors will benefit more than they will.
