I've received 5 VC offers "to chat" regarding Pixelfed in the past few days.

Not for sale.

Pixelfed belongs to the people.

I'd rather be broke and true to my beliefs, than sell out.

That's why I'm organizing a Kickstarter to fund the ethical development of Pixelfed, Loops and more.

It's time that someone stood up to them, instead of joining them.

Are you with me?

An #LLM doesn’t know anything. It doesn’t reason about anything. It doesn’t understand anything.

It doesn’t think; it simulates thinking.

“Why does that matter?” you might ask. “What’s the difference between simulations of thinking and actual thinking?”

And for some applications, you’d be right. Simulations have value.

But here’s the thing: the best flight simulator in the world—or even the best flight simulator that will exist in your lifetime—won’t get you from New York to Barcelona.
