Open Source: The Impossibilities Are Endless
summary
Argues open source should expand beyond code into quantum computing, biohacking, architecture, education and government, urging concrete steps: build open-source operating system and emulators for quantum hardware so developers can program without owning devices, share biohacking protocols and outcome data instead of hoarding results, release disaster housing designs and curricula under commons licenses, and form public‑private foundations to advise policy. Notes there are only four quantum computers today, recounts a fundraiser that produced a giant Steve Jobs portrait as a perverse unintended consequence, and cites Honest Dollar’s acquisition by Goldman Sachs.
