Reply to comment by BreadManToast in Will this year be remembered as the start of the AI revolution? by BreadManToast

I'll tell you the big thing I noticed: this is the year a lot of people regained hope for ai as up until the stable diffusion release, the meme was that these models would be forever gated by large corporations. SD changed all that and got the open source community hyped that we don't have to be controlled by our corporate overlords afterall and perhaps all of the biggest innovations in the future will come from open source.

I find it really interesting that the groundbreaking thing here wasn't DALLe or any corporate owned image AI but open source product. We should remember this and start to question how much patents and ownership really hinder our progress. For example 3D printers has basically stuck in time for 5 years and no notable progress has happened because big corporations are gatekeeping patents.
