## Quote — verbatim

> Google would not exist today if not for the first server they built in Stanford using Legos and Linux... So without open source, Google would not exist. So imagine how many Googles are we denying today with closed AI.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Closing argument of the open-AI discussion — closed foundations stifle the next generation of companies the way a closed web would have prevented Google.
