It feels that the open source movement is slowly entering a Cambrian explosion stage.

You have the old "deterministic computing" achievements (with Linux the flagship). Then you have the networking protocols (activitypub / atproto) that are revolutionising birectional human interactions online. And finally you have the datascience/ML/AI algorithmic universe that is for the first time being harnessed at distributed scale and can empower individuals like never before.

These superpowers are all coming together and create a vast number of possibilities. Nothing really dramatic on the hardware side. Its basically the planetary software reconfiguring itself.

To me it all feels suffocating, fake. Simultaneously there's a faint glimmer of hope that we indeed achieve AGI, unlock fusion and live happily ever after in an utopian, peaceful and mostly analog world.

Revolutionising what? libre/oss has been network-bound since Usenet and then IRC.

how many people ever used Usenet versus the billions who think the "internet" is facebook or tiktok. Techies living in their own universe detached from human reality is actually a factor why libre/oss is not as widely adopted as it could be.
