Hey thanks for sharing your post. While I am somewhat concerned about laws and regulations behind this innovative tech, I think we’re a bit ahead of the curve here and don’t have any real or immediate threat on the horizon. At least for now…

FOSAI is an idea that no one can take from me, from you, from us. Much like FOSS, it’s a principle as much as it is a technology. I will advocate for this in the light of optimism and hope as much as I can in whatever theater this technology presents itself to me. At the moment, that’s here, but if that changes - I will be sure to bring this torch with me wherever I find myself.

Don’t get me wrong, the last thing I want to do is have to jump through legal hoops and hurdles to deploy an open-source model - but congress and regulation moves so slow, I have a strong feeling that many of us will be able to do exactly what we want to do without as much oversight as we might expect from hearings like this.

All the more reason to get involved with the tech now!

A good example of this is how Congress has done very little to actually solve digital piracy or rampant depression and loneliness that has come with the advent of social media. If they can’t put up regulations with regular software, I have little worries they’ll do anything seriously restricting for people like us.

In my opinion, there’s no ‘going back’ to a pre-AI/LLM world. You cannot control this growth. The only way is forward with each and everyone one of us empowered by this tech - building a brighter tomorrow because we finally have the ability and know-how to close the gap between our social disparities.

Remember, apes together strong!

Jokes aside, we are in the calm before the storm of innovation that I believe will be this next decade. Let’s hope we can have our way for quite some time, without restrictions from out-of-touch governments!

Momentum, growth, and innovation are our allies in this.
