And when they're there, people use them and benefit from them and are glad that they're there.
So sometimes it's not necessarily a kind of proactive demand, but it's like a recognition of a need, a kind of latent recognition of a need.
which then, if the right form factor and workflow integration resonates with that need, people then will go and adopt, potentially quite quickly.
I don't know.
I definitely point to...
There's definitely some large-ish segment of the online population, on Twitter at least, who are really hungry for kind of better sense-making.
And they maybe have their own interpretation of what that means.
But if you can produce tools which can enable people who have that hunger to better see through deception, to better gain context on the decisions they need to make, to better gain context on the decisions society needs to make, then there's some demand there.
But it is a real problem.
So it's absolutely central to any project
that we're running and any one that we're supporting is, yeah, like how are we gonna get distribution here in a way that's not sort of, in a way that's sustainable and that's actually kind of helping people.
Yeah.
Well, one antidote here historically has been open source.
So if you can see the source code, in principle, of course, most people don't actually go and look at the source code at all.
But if you can, in principle, see the source code, or if your friend can, in principle, go and see the source code, or even if your AI assistant that you kind of trust can go and scrutinize the source code, then you have some more reason to at least believe the thing isn't like...
deliberately manipulating you or doesn't have some kind of backdoor or secret inclination.
This is harder, of course, for things like... And by the way, I think it's really unhelpful to use the term open source for ML components, like language models, because they're not really open source.
It's more like open... But if you publish the weights of something, it's more like publishing a binary or something.
It's pretty inscrutable.
But yeah, open source is good.
