whatever this can be, or like, you know, upgrade your subscription, like as simple as that.

In the limit, you can think of this as effectively 1984, right?

You have a big brother that always at all times there and effectively telling you what to think and what to do and what not to do because you effectively see the world through this lens.

And I think like just from a product and a vision perspective,

AI is how we're going to interface with computing.

Like all the computing, all the internet, everything will be interfaced with AI.

And so we want this AI to be on our side, not to be on somebody else's side.

And so that's kind of this vision of user-owned AI, which is like, we want it to be yours, not theirs.

Now, how do we actually do that, right?

Because

Building another company that will be building AI is kind of counterintuitive because that's exactly what everybody else is doing.

I'll be the benevolent guy.

So how do we build that?

Well, we kind of need a few components to come together, right?

First, we need privacy.

Either way, all this needs to be private.

All the data should be stored on you, all your memory, all the context, all the tool usage, et cetera, should be all yours, including model inference.

And so you need kind of this privacy confidentiality.

Then you need a model where ideally we know what the inputs are.

Again, right now, we're sadly in a world where we have few open source models.
