I might point out that Linux was started by a full-time student who had met
essentially none of the folks he ended up working with. It's still the
case that the majority of the folks in kernel development are occupied
elsewhere full-time, and meet only possibly at infrequent conferences, etc.
Granted, AI is more complex than Linux, but how much so?
