I've been saying this kind of thing for a while about open source. There is a lot of innovation happening outside of the corporate sector which has been neglected. Not just that; it has been essentially covered up. These projects have not been allowed to get any attention because big tech controls all the media channels. A lot has been happening outside of AI too.

A lot of people are shocked at how this open source innovation just came out of nowhere but those who work in open source, in those areas, aren't so surprised because they've been going at it for years.
