Innovation

Limitation in resources and source-availaibility are both affordances of innovation in the open.

• There is an innovative spirit to open source. This could be thought of as related to ^collabopensource5, where multiple minds on one problem can increase creativity and accelerate development. (innovative_spirit, 16)
• Limited compute nudges innovations at first principles. Most examples are related to the innovations Deepseek made at the low-level, as they were resource limited and needed to squeeze the last juice out of compute they had on hand. However, the same argument could be used for why people share compute resources in the open, as evident in ^resourceintensive. (innovations_first_principles, 4)
• The phenomena of new (smaller) companies that can first serve low value customers and incrementally improve their tech to eventually take over established businesses. (the_innovator_dilemma, 3)
