@bluesky @martinkl Why can I not find the source code for the bluesky app on your GitHub?

Long term, @SecureRender will have Open Source NeRF-like rendering on an AI neural graphics engine! 🔥

Short term, @dmaevsky getting WebGL responsive layouts to center+center & line-wrap correctly! 💖 Check out the standalone demo at https://t.co/KWzxy5tpHr

Almost a year to date

Since we rallied to get Jack, Bluesky, Twitter to follow thru on their promise.

Then Elon entered the scene.

Let's see what next week opens up!

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@dsmart Prepare to be disappointed at first when our algorithm is made open source next week, but it will improve rapidly!

[ODF @OpenDefenseFund]

We took a long Holiday Break 😂 & ran several local events. Feedback suggests we should consolidate the events into 2 series, AI Graphics & Heretical Economics.

Aiming to have a regular schedule back online next month. ✨

We cultivate a community.

[ODF @OpenDefenseFund]

COGNITION

cryptography

Neuralink.

The. Graphics. Of. The. Future.

Is your 🧠.

Join us, this Saturday the 12th,

at @noisebridge hacker space

To learn & build

An Open Source #NeRF web engine, to compete with @UnrealEngine's Nanite.

@elonmusk This doesn't make sense.

Even if 0.5% of MAU paid (which seems high)

$8/mo * 238M * 0.005 = $9.5M/mo = $114M/y

Pretty sure the quarterlies showed that server costs are more than that.

:/

Instead:

Partner with @lexfridman & @joerogan &turn on a "competitive Twitter eSport"👇

[ODF @OpenDefenseFund]

Our next in-person event:

THE HERETICAL NETWORK STATE

Come debate contrarian ideas as we evolve humanity from 5,000 years of debt & nation state wars

into an era of post-scarcity, pro-social growth.

Nov 10th @hanahaus, 20+ registered! Limited capacity!

We're grateful to see @bluesky publish their code as Open Source.

This was a major concern of ours at the beginning of the year.

Build in Public.

[ODF @OpenDefenseFund]

Stable Diffusion Day!

in person, at Stanford, hosted by us.

Only 20 spots available.

Come celebrate Open Source.

(we asked stable diffusion to make an event image for stable diffusion, it chose these heart warming colors ♥)

@TechEmails Jack tried this with Bluesky

(I was recruited into the community in late 2019 by then CTO)

But he dragged it out for 3 years

Then guess what happened?

The company for the "open" protocol went centralized, and is mostly stealth / behind closed doors.
