Every now and then we still experience the power of collaborative work fueled by open source and not driven by money but curiosity and collegiality. This is the thing I miss the most from the early internet years.

"be the change you want to see in the world" - just start doing it.

It's amazing how differently people interact with each other when collaborating on a passion project. For me, opensource software is the best way to do it. Pick a topic you're passionate about and start contributing somewhere :)

Oh, I do lots of open source. Everything my lab does is released as open source (eg https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/jou...)

We've never patented anything.

All this AI work is definitely driven by money but it's super cool either way. I'm so excited to be living through these innovations.

Money is in a lot of cases driven by need - so no conflicts

The conflicts come later when the people that provided the money start pulling on those strings again.

Pretty clear conflict between crocowhile saying "not driven by money but curiosity and collegiality" and xvector saying "All this AI work is definitely driven by money"

Need in itself is amoral. There's a reason people have been talking about which human desires are virtues and which are vices for millennia.
