I did read. In the second response I did try to declare my assumption on what I thought that you ment. I did not mean that you have written it but rather that if you were to write that it would be false. I should have worded it like that: “If you mean is Proton a scum you would be wrong.” I wrote about “scum” not “trump scum” which I see now, to you, the latter means someone supporting Trump. Next time I will just ask what do you mean. I am new to these kind of sites and have rarely if ever posted so please excuse my mistake.

I’m new.

Off-Topic but feel like it is important to share this: https://www.arte.tv/de/videos/114590-000-A/abgehoert/ (various subtitles are avaible). It is a documentary made mostly of phone calls between Russian soldiers and their families and friends. It is hard to listen and watch, but if you want to really be able to feel what is happening there this is unpararelled.

I am in a different time zone. It was 3am.

Maybe you should have worded the question like that from the beginning. It is hard to tell what you mean otherwise.

Then why did you quote me 😵‍💫

I am not an American and maybe do not understand how the political system operates. However I did not write that Trump is sticking it to the big guys. You are making something up there. If Trump chose a minister is not the minister responsible for listening to the industry? Yen’s and Proton’s position (taking this from the now removed Mastodon post) was/is that the Democrats chose Kamala instead of Bernie and Kamala’s team did not listen. Trumps apointee did listen. If it were Bernie’s team I am sure Proton would complement Bernie for choosing someone who listens. I just do not think this is a big deal.

If you mean that Proton is a scum you are writing something that is false. Proton is doing many things that are usefull and right. Should I elaborate?

It was taken.

I am no professional but:

This is what I have found about the governmance structure of OpenAI. It’s complicated but basically the working company is a for-profit controlled by a non-profit, controlled by employees and other investors, the non-profit is also controlled by a board of driectors. Also it’s all based in the US.

The Mastodon model is probably going to be a lot simpler and will probably not allow big investors to take ownership of the company. Also they are looking for a suitable country in the EU that will enforce the non-profit’s obligations to the people. Being based in the EU is in itself a huge difference, and by choice. They have not set anything in stone yet so it’s all specualtion essentialy.

Also there is the trust thing: OpenAI does not need trust from people, other AI companies are for profit too and work just fine. Mastodon is build around the fact that it is different from things like twitter. If they start doing maliciuos stuff, they will loose trust and in turn their main selling point. Also openness.

Also it is open source is it not? So any progress they have made can be used to create a competitor. Basically the whole business model is different.

You do not have to be friends with anyone! :D
