I get the point, we've all been burnt. But if you're not trusting anybody anyway, why would explicity in a non-binding blog post / press release soothe you?
We're in the middle of an AI bubble propping up the whole friggin US economy all by itself, driven mostly by a company that claimed to be a non-profit until a few years ago.
- walt_grata 9mo agoBecause I've been burned by every big tech company I can think of. As for why it would be soothing, well because it gives me hope that when I read any further legal docs they'll hold to the post. What does ai have to do with this? The sooner that bubble bursts the better IMO.
- shmeeed 9mo agoThe (Open)AI example was to illustrate the fact that companies can lie about their long-term plans or just change them whenever. They routinely do. And everybody who believed yesteryear's mission statement will then wind up feeling pretty stupid. I'm considering Kagi a strategic ally in the fight against big tech right now. It isn't a big tech company (yet). They don't have much of a moat either. Therefore, for the foreseeable future, they will be absolutely dependent on aligning their behaviour with their customer's interests, lest they lose them and go out of business.
