New opportunities and directions open up all the time! AI is opening a whole new salient to attack the gatekeepers.

Craft is Wikipedia / OSM for software. We're building an open source AI software factory to agentically remake everything.

We're going to open source all the apps, turn platforms into protocols, build open infra, and help assist open weights.

Everything will be rewritten as high quality open source software. And once we've covered the space of everything people use, we'll turn the components into highly reusable open source libraries that can be reshaped into new workflows in real time.

We're going to make a seamless bridge between local and cloud AI, we're going to make a rich set of primitives for fine tuning and sharing.

Not just applications. Data, infra, hardware, the whole of technology.

This reads as so pollyannish as to be nonsense.

I'm not a fan of pollyannish declarations, but I try not to dismiss ideas on delusionally enthusiastic tone alone.

I've been around long enough to know that sustained collective enthusiasm can sometimes blindside you.

I took a brief look at the posted projects and quickly surveyed the community behind it and I'm not ready to dismiss them yet. I'm not exactly sold either, but I am going to put them on my radar and check in every few months.

Maybe their goals are a little more down to earth, but you won’t attract same people by saying you’re going to reinvent everything on earth (in most cases)

AI is the attack. You can't possibly be this clueless, so I only have to assume trolling.

Very cool, chatgpt. Get a real website and MAYBE I'll take you seriously.

Can you explain how you will resolve the tension between "high quality" without moderation who turn into Reddit "nazi moderators" or StackOverflow meanies, and without turfing out all moderators and turning into 4chan of old, trolling, and low quality overrun with ads and noise?

What social structure, organization, review, moderation, do you think will solve that tension?
