Well, that's because some Google engineer and PM who didn't live your life, who doesn't know anything about you and the things you care about, and they don't let you change it, right?

That's a basic product problem.

This is the problem with closed-source.

This is a problem with corporate AI, is that all of it is hidden away and this stuff is so powerful.

This is why OpenClaw is blowing my mind and it's so powerful.

It's so obviously the future.

If you build something great in open-source,

Isn't it possible over time that it grows into a business?

Oh, yeah.

YC has funded some of the biggest open source wins.

Supabase, for instance, I use it all the time.

And that started as an open source project.

And then usually you make money on hosting, and they're going to be one of the biggest.

I think someday they might be bigger than AWS, personally.

They're in the same business as AWS?

Yeah, they help people store their data.

And so now they're about to go hyperbolic because suddenly everyone and their mama is going to have their own personal G-brain or they're going to have their own personal agent.

And that agent has to store its data someplace and it's probably going to be Supabase.

And that started as an open source project that

did not necessarily have any intention of being commercial.
