Very thoughtful post on the role and success of open source, including potential applications for AVs and AI. Long, but worth the read. -- "Open source is no longer just how good software gets built. It is how dominant incumbents get neutralized, how trillion-dollar industries shift their power structure, and how the next generation of strategic moats gets dug — by the companies smart enough to dig them in the open. The world’s most sophisticated technology companies have spent fifteen years quietly mastering this. Most of the world is still treating open source as a development philosophy when it has long since become a corporate weapon. That gap in understanding is itself a form of structural disadvantage. [...] A new world order in technology is being constructed in real time, and the role open source plays in that order is being decided right now — partly in foundation board rooms, partly in earnings calls, partly in congressional hearings, partly in policy white papers being written by lobbyists for the largest closed AI companies in the world. The companies that understand this will compound their advantages over the next decade. The countries that understand this will lead the global technology landscape. The individuals who understand this will be impossible to outmaneuver." A new @bgurley blog post! I have been thinking about how sophisticated executives are using open source in super creative ways. Started writing this three years ago. Excited to finish it up and publish it! And with the new @p3institute brand. https://substack.com/home/post/p-1970…
