Kind of like closed source model routing and not giving back post-trained fine tunes of open weights models.
Hmmm...
Nah.
3. Uncensored (music, video, voice, code, "safety", etc.)
4. Fast for edge hardware (robots, raspberry pi, etc.)
5. (We're not there yet - ) Online learning, where the weights adjust to you / your world
There are more
I've not slept much in the past 48 hours working on this. CI is melting, my inbox is full, everyone needs something.
Yet I'll be here six months from now to give you version 1.2.
Foundations take work.
Semantic Web (true Web 3.0) was an idyllic yet impractical vision of what the web could've been
People and machines share data independent of big companies. RSS, ATOM. It was hackable, P2P, ours
Hyperscale product platforms didn't see anything in it for them, so they killed it
INFRASTRUCTURE and MODELS must be open too.
We're doing the infrastructure bits.
Document clouds. Collaboration protocols.
Shut your yap.
Open Office / Libre Office sucks.
It ate my 40 page essay during finals week.
I'm paying back a grudge that has been years in the making.
Stop dragging along shitty OSS software and venerating it like it's some holy relic. Let it die.

I loved the 00's internet
Everything was exciting. Personal websites, filesharing, IRC, RSS, downloadable apps, hackable protocols, flash
Web 2.0, platforms/centralization, cellphone incrementalism killed it
Web 1.0 was bright. It's coming back. We'll own everything again
I have never liked Gimp and Kdenlive, nor would I want to continue with their decisions. They are stuck in a 20 year plus local maxima. The best way out is a clean attempt
Come on, y'all know this.
Why? Why spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on slop tokens when you could direct the same effort and tokens at good, established, distributed projects like LibreOffice, Gimp, Kdenlive, Thunderbird, etc etc
My hunch is that this is pure clout chasing and they have zero interest in actually maintaining the software past its slop-formation
Software industry transmutes into something resembling the food services industry
Tons of competition, low margin for most.
Price, quality, brand, and customer service matter.
If you're McDonalds, you're gonna have a bad time
If you're Chick-fil-A, you're going to the moon
Hey everybody, while I've got a little bit of your attention, could you take a moment to read something very important I want to say?
I would very much like to defend liberty and privacy, and I think rearticulating watermarks as "spymarks" will help.

My guy, I can code
In college I was building laser games on skyscrapers and cloning the luciferase-luciferin system into plants via agrobacterium-mediated transfection
AI models enable me to work as an entire company. I'm doing 4x better than Google's revenue per employee
