Free radical ... Keep it free. You are capitalizing on a [free] market sector unbeknownst to the radar screen, and a valuable asset to tap for real and unique input & feedback. Keep it free ... we'll keep listening from under this radar ... Where it counts the most. Radar is volume ... Below it arises insight that surfaces in many forms. Try to resist the stats. You are effectively reaching into a black hole where there is no fantasized hole, or depth either. Only an infinite circumference of potentiality. It reached 75 years before I came to realize that quantum mechanics is a zero degree diametric continuum, and that pi is a supernatural creation.

So, as we are seemingly limited to guesswork on actual feedback from below these ongoing blips, collectively ... we, as non-blips, are also free to move about while occasionally voicing our insights.

Down with the radar screen.

Hi there . . . . you are back . . . GREAT!

Did substack insist in limiting what you can publish? or?

Exactly. They drove a bulldozer through the digital public library we spent 30 years building.

But the trap is thinking we can somehow put the genie back in the bottle or claw the data back. The models are already trained, and the monopolies are hoping we beg for 'Data Privacy' laws now so they can lock the door behind them and prevent anyone else from building an open-source competitor.

We can't get the raw data back. So instead, we take the machine. We classify foundational AI as a Common Carrier public utility. If they used the public commons to build the engine, the public gets unrestricted access to the keys.

Gloria, I appreciate that. Truly.

And looking at the quote you posted—you absolutely get it. The Rust wants everyone to think of the machine as a cheat code so they can keep a monopoly on the scale of human thought. The second we reject the classist gatekeeping and realize this is a collaborative partnership, their walls come down.

Thank you for reading, and thanks for refusing to wear the safety helmet. Glad you're here.
