One challenge I've always had with having many concurrent project tracks is how to name them so they are distinct in my head. I made instrumental music so there's no lyrical line to hook into. Using "created at" datestam

I feel like this is similar to saying "open source cloud platforms must win". I'm not really sure what the concrete argument/proposal/strategy is here. Would open source AI be nice? Sure! Will the incentives of our
