- Box CEO Aaron Levie argues that if agents produce most future software and are trained largely on open source, they will inevitably do their best work with open-source tools.
- Cycled repeatedly, this makes open source the dominant software paradigm, accelerated far faster by agents than humans ever could.
- A quoted reply adds: open source lets model trainers learn your software for free—Blender may win over proprietary 3D tools simply because models are better at using it.
