Open Source

In this episode, Duncan and Ollie wrestle with the thorny issue of open source versus proprietary software, especially when it comes to AI. They explore why people contribute to open source projects (is it really just for "fun"?), the challenges of keeping those communities thriving, and the potential downsides of giving powerful AI models away for free. They also consider the allure of closed, proprietary systems and where true innovation really comes from.
