Really feels like it. Look at the paragraphs and the list here.

Omacom Foundation launches with $18.5 million

It’s time to dream big. Omarchy Quattro has given people a chance to experience what the malleable computer of the future looks like, and they like it (a lot!). It now feels like a moral obligation to make this future more broadly available and fundamentally change how people relate to their computers for the first time in what seems like forever.

To do just that, I’m incorporating the Omacom Foundation to ensure that this mission is fully funded, durable, and ready to accelerate.

This nonprofit foundation will hold the trademarks, fund the infrastructure, promote the work, and support the open-source projects and developers Omarchy depends on.

These twelve Founding Patrons are each contributing $1 million to this mission:

• Tobi Lütke, CEO of Shopify
• Patrick Collison, CEO of Stripe
• Michael Dell, Chairman and CEO of Dell Technologies
• Jack Dorsey, Block Head and Chairman of Block
• Matthew Prince, CEO of Cloudflare
• Brendan Iribe, Cofounder of Sesame and Oculus
• Jason Fried, CEO of 37signals
• Drew Houston, cofounder and co-CEO of Dropbox
• Peter Steinberger, creator of OpenClaw
• Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase
• Yunjie Dai, cofounder of TapTap
• Yours truly

These Founding Corporate Patrons are each contributing $1 million a year for three years or $1.5 million in tokens, with renewal by mutual agreement:

• DigitalOcean
• Meta Superintelligence Labs

A China-linked islamoleftist trans terrorist based in California used his open source CCP-made AI agent to take down the all-American freedom AI. Time to ban open source AI as it’s communist terrorism.

That’ll be expensive so I don’t think it’ll be happening. They’ll be OK with collecting data from the 95% of their customers who don’t know how to block the TV from having internet access.

Thanks for the explanation. That’s informative and unfortunate.

1. That’s my bet for the reasons I outlined. It’s not a bet in vacuum. I think it’s strong enough to consider it “certain,” colloquially speaking. Is it certain in mathematical terms? No, as you said - nothing is certain.
2. That’s not inconsitent with my bet. We can get into why but probablt don’t need to.
3. No idea what that’s about, not using PieFed. They limit what? Why do they do that? I read your explanation.

E: BTW I’m not unaware of the ability of for-profits to siphon people away from existing corporate platforms into new corporate or corporate-adjacent platforms, for example. E.g. Twitter -> Bluesky. I think that would be insufficient in the long run to halt the fediverse growth because every time this cycle occurs, some people fall off into the fediverse and that’s usually the more aware people. They tend to create more content.

That’s crazy. The Canadian ones are monstrous compared to what we used to grow in our European backyard thirty years ago.

and consistent quality

Kinda wild that most store-bought chicken doesn’t taste good at all. At least it’s not making us sick. 😄

I don’t diss supply mgmt. Just personal taste opinion. I think supply mgmt is very important for us and its benefits are obvious.

Certainly. Don’t know how large and when, but a significant (relative to our size) bunch of people would likely show up. That plus people who dabble in both would increase their activity here. The threadiverse is more or less guaranteed to grow and form a solid contrubutor base. We don’t seek to increase profits YoY so our services are only going to get better over time. For-profit socials have to grow profits over time, so they are going to get worse. Increase in service quality for for-profit platforms is a temporary stage of their development. The threadiverse will be around in 5-10 years time, in some shape or form and it’ll be larger and better than it is today. This is why I keep pushing the vote buttons and type words every day. Deliberately spending more time than I’d like. 😄

Do I still need this chat template if I’m using the Unsloth version?

has me the most worried about the whole thing is the drop in any kind of thinking skills among the general population.

Sounds like the general population would need to use more AI.

There’s exceptions for sure. I should have said it’s a tendency.

Exactly right. Dare I say the very right for working people to vote was won by organized labour, so even popular democracy is downstream from labour power. That’s the only real power we have against corporations.

Corporations do not stand up to the government. Remember this. Drop any expectation that the coporate world would save you from a bad government.

Good to know. I will make sure not to update as mine isn’t doing it yet.

they could build world class research labs that would put the old bell labs to shame

Knowing Bell Labs’ contributions… this is fucking radicalizing.

I’m not saying Zitron’s right but one easy way that his predictions could be wrong at this point but could emerge as correct in the future is basically the principle “the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.” In other words things could have been crazy 2 years ago but they maybe crazier now, and they may have yet more room to get astronomically crazy.

Just conceptually, agents pull data from the web via search engines. There isn’t currently a mechanism that makes one piece of information on the web trusted while another is untrusted. There’s new websites popping up that put up technical information every day. It’s pretty easy to imagine an agent getting code from a well optimized site that injects a backdoor in whatever the agent is building. Even before code hits any repo, the agents regularly execute stuff from the web while they figure out what to put down.

For real, this is the perfect application for torrent. If I were building a registry that had to have sustainable cost for an open source community it would use torrents as a file transfer backend. If I were building something that I was planning to sell to a monopoly firm that has monopoly money… HTTP and cloud storage all thw way! 😄

Plus they chronically lie so it’s safe to assume it’s more.
