      Robots used to cost a lot, but now technology is cheap and you can build a lot of stuff even at home and without a real workshop.

        “Cheap” no one is ready topaya a 4th of a months salary to risk potentially just throwing away with no real benefit for oneself the upfront cost just isn’t worth it most of the time for the Foss comunity

            Right but at that point the projects where already underway and at the start openai also was open and relied partially on open source contributions
